My wife has done the inexcusable. She put baby in the corner. I currently have a 75g in the corner of my utility room. I am planning to upgrade to a 120 with a 40 breeder tied in for a frag set up. I am trying to fit WAY too much into the space available (8ftx5ft) I am designing the layout now. I have a small fridge for fish food and what not. I believe I would be asking for trouble if I place the fridge into the stand assembly due to heat generated by the fridge. Is the fear of this warranted, are there other overlooked considerations, or do you think I can get away with it?

I would say depends on room temp. if its too hot already it could be a problem with fridge but if its colder it might be okay. There are fans and chillers although pricey.
