Tank under a hanging lcd TV?

I have a 30 gallon tank which is about to get turned into a reef that currently sits on a big table which is under my Flat screen tv on the wall. I am wondering if by switching from freshwater to salt if it is going to be a problem for the TV which hangs directly above the tank by 8 inches.

 

yes it will be you will get saltcreep. I have pictures hanging above my tank about a foot and I have to clean them.

 

I say bad idea. salt creep, heat from tv. Water/ electronics dont mix.

 

I would move one of the two

 

I agree, don't do it. If you cleared the tank by 2-4 feet, that would be ok. 8" is way too close since air bubbles will break and cause salt creep, like mentioned above.

 

+500 on bad idea. Good thing you posted.

salt from the tanks ruins electronics. a buddy of mine had salt build up inside his computer and fry it.and humidity from evaporation shortens the life of flat screen tv significantly.

 

wow.. well thanks for the insight.. now im considering moving the whole thing to its own dedicated stand. also this way I can build the refugium into the bottom like I have always wanted..

 

That'd be the best route to go. I'd be as worried about the humidity and the lights near the LCD damaging the TV or TV mount failure followed by gravitic fish tank collapse.

 

well, atleast I now have a new project to take on! Building a new stand.. any idea on the wood to use?
