Hi Guys
In the house I have moved into there is a fire place in the middle of the room, I find this to be impractical and also kind of an eye sore. It may look ok in the pic but when you are in the room you can't see the entire room because of the flume and we never use the fire place (it's disconnected). See pic to understand my situation. I was thinking of removing the flume and using the fire place as a fish tank stand. The fire place is marble but would require a board in the middle to support to the fish tank. What's everyones opinion on this? is it a good idea? There are a few things that are putting me off, firstly there is no power socket in the middle of the room, and I've heard it is a bad idea to run an extention cable under the carpet. The next is that it would be in the way of direct sunlight which would cause algae to grow fast and last thing is my two staffy's who roam the lounge. I would hate for them to accidently tail whip it or purposly knock it.
