Placing tank in tv cubby or?

Trying to decide the best place to set my 46 gallon Bowfront up. I was thinking the 48" wide tv cubby or next to the garage door under the alarm keypad.

The cubby may suck for maintenance and would prob have to get a table to mount low. Thoughts?

 

I think the cubby probably would be hard to get it just right and able to do maintenance although I definitely see why you'd consider that spot.....you can see both in your line of vision Is there a good amount of space on that wall under the alarm pad? it's hard to tell from the angle.

 

Wow... Decisions decisions.... If you own the house and are handy I would say the cubby. You will need to get rid of the middle shelf and do a build in like this here.

Then you can close in the top for lights. Set up one of them old school wave buckets on a shelf. sump and all that other stuff underneath and plenty of room for a taller tank.

 

I own it but not sure if I wanna tackle that! Lol that would be sweet tho!

 

Updated pic of discussed room from kitchen.... Only downside is if hy keypad tank would have to be 6" or so from wall for hob filter unless I ran my 305 canister

 

I probably wouldn't move it in front of the keypad isn't there a light switch there too?

 

yes, I think the keypad area would really break up the room awkwardly....I might try to figure out something to make the cubby work. Just my .02.
