Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a 29 gallon tank from my neighbors, and this is my first tank! The only thing that is keeping me from cleaning and preparing the tank for fish is that I'm worried about what to use as a stand. My neighbors had used this huge antique dresser as a stand for their tank and television.
I am not sure whether I need to buy a separate piece of furniture, or if I might have something that I might work - an antique record cabinet/bench. I think it is a fairly sturdy piece and I regularly sit on it... I weigh about 160 lbs.
I'm also not sure about just where to put the tank. I know I will have to move the bench if I can use it. I've read about fish being sensitive to noise and vibrations, but the neighbors had their TV right next to the tank.
I do not often watch loud movies, and I have a stereo in the living room, but also do not listen to music too loudly. Will my tank be okay in the living room? I'd appreciate any tips about tank placement so to reduce the stress of my future fish as much as possible.
Thanks for any help and suggestions!
