We are trying to figure out where we should set up our tank (doing this weekend) the spot that works the best for weight is on our outside wall..problem is that the one end of the tank will be facing a south sided window..its a bow so it's not direct sun but its sun to say the least...any thoughts on this?
Also where this is going to go will be at the end of our couch and just happens to be at the end where my husband puts his head watching tv..so the noise is a concern. There will be a powerhead running a rena xp3 filter, and a protein skimmer...I have no idea how much noise this is going to create...
I know that they most likely sound like silly questions but I dont want something that we are going to have to move 3 months down the road.
Also this is another stupid question but might have to do with noise in the future...can you set up HOB ref without having a sump? I like the fact that it would house beneficial components to the tank. I think it would need some kind of a pump also so that would also come into play with the noise..
sorry for the silly questions but they are things I have no clue about..
Thanks so much
