The only problem with setting up the QT in the living room is that there isn't any more space... I could try to work out something, but it'd depend on the dimensions of the 10g tank, and ask my parent's permission...
A standard 10 gal is 20" long x 10" wide x 12" high. Add an inch to each dimension to account for different types of molding. ( None of mine are an inch larger than the dimensions I gave but just to be on the safe side. )
As for where, they make nice iron aquarium stands that have a top and bottom area for aquariums. There are also wooden style stands with 2 levels for tanks. Maybe switch to one of those and BINGO, instant tank space.
