I would assume that a thermometer would pick up the flucuation(sp) in the temp...when the fireplace is on...well actually, just keep it off...hehe or you could watch the fish boil
The fireplace as a stand depends on if it has a board running through it...or is it just the tabletop hollow and then glass...

l l or a think layer and then the glass?
hehe last thing you need is to hear the tank crashing in the middle of the night...oh and get someone to monitor it for you...
its just easier that way
