A fish tank is a highlight that makes the living room more lively and creates a feeling of relaxation. However, you should not choose a tank that is too large compared to the room area. A tank containing a lot of water will increase the load on the floor, occupying a lot of space, and if a leak or overflow occurs, it can damage the furniture, even potentially causing unsafety.
When choosing a size, you should prioritize a tank with a moderate height, suitable for visibility and overall space. For small living rooms, a medium or small size fish tank will be more harmonious and easier to care for.
In addition, the fish tank should not be placed too close to the kitchen area. Heat, grease and temperature changes can affect water quality as well as fish health. At the same time, placing the tank in the cooking area also increases the risk of water splashing on electrical equipment or causing inconvenience in daily life.
The location of the fish tank should be ventilated, avoid obstructing the walkway and not placed in an easily impactable place. If you want to create a highlight for the living room, you can arrange the tank near a window with indirect light or in a suitable corner of the room, while avoiding direct sunlight to limit algae growth and help fish grow well.
