Do you sleep with the fishes?

justsunnie · 03-13-2007, 05:30 PM

I was curious where everyone keeps their aquariums.

My 12g nano is in my bedroom (I swear it helps with my insomnia!), my 45gxh Terrarium is in the dining room, and my 46g bowfront reef will go in the living room.

210 in the oversized bedroom. the waterfall sound is nice relaxing cover noise.

Both of my tanks are in my bedroom, a 75g and 20g. They help with sleep for the most part. The MH's kickin on a 9AM when I'm tryin to sleep in gets old.

My fish tank is at the end of the hallway between two bedrooms and I have no trouble sleeping with the fishies

75 gal. glass in living room and 75 gal. acrylic in the library....oh, ya...5 gal. nano in the spare bedroom.

Mine is in the breakfast nook of the kitchen. Our floor plan is open so I can view the tank throughout the living room and into the foyer.

Nope, I don't care to sleep with the fishes but if I HAD too, I would.

Living room and TV room and upstairs bedroom

My oceanic 30g is in the living room, and I just started a nanocube 6 for the kitchen (will probably be moving it into the bedroom).

Living Room, but because of the vaulted ceilings I hear it throughout the upstairs of the house, including where I sleep. Sometimes this is a blessing. I don't here it over the snoring going on, but at times the hubby has woke me up in the middle of the night and asked if there was something wrong with the tank (like absolutely no water in the sump).

My tank is in my bathroom... actually... IT IS MY BATHROOM!!!

I'll tell you one thing... you never hear anyone complaining about skimate smell at my house!

DaBird · 03-13-2007, 11:14 PM

Living Room, I love the water, sounds like a river if I close my eyes, Rhonda on the other hand hates the noise, so I made a gurgle buster and now I have a hard time even hearing it sitting right next to it...

Ok the first person on here to make a reef out of that should get like 10,000 rep points. I would want to see that so bad...
