I would most definitely NOT put the tank on that fireplace though.. put it on a seperate stand... even a few degrees fluctuation in the tank and you can loose fish.. if you have anything nearby radiating heat and kabloie you have dead fish... Buy a seperate stand..that's my two cents.. I used to breed a ton of different fish, but I refused to do the salt water thing because of how finicky and expensive it is. Redbelly Pirhanas and Firemouth Cichlids were exotic enough for me

Sweet! good info..... I figure i wont use that thing ever, so I might as well use it for somethng, but a stand is fine too!
