Where Should I Set Up My Saltwater Tank?

Every home is different, but here are some tips on where you might set up your saltwater tank. Choose a place that isn't in direct sunlight and isn't in a high-traffic area (like hallways and doors) in your home. Try to avoid placing tanks close to loud and vibrating televisions and stereos. Avoid places like the kitchen as cooking odors and fumes can be harmful to your fish.

Remember, you'll need to be near an electrical supply and will likely need a power bar or some device to allow you plug into extra outlets.
