Yep, mine's about like that. It's my growout 75, with festivums, jurupari etc, no splashers. There's no wall behind it though, it's my kitchen island with the sink so I just python out the side. The only time it's even remotely a pain is when I need to clean the filter (a canister in the bottom of the stand). But even then it's not a huge deal, I slide the couch out and do what I have to do. Actually if I'm doing anything in there that might involve dripping (adding or moving fish generally) I just move the couch.
