Things are starting to move on my new tank deployment. The plumber / electrician has been here for a few days wiring up new 20 amp outlets in the basement (dual four-gang, each on its own breaker for redundancy). I'm installing a countertop and sink... now where to place this 48x30x17H peninsula tank?
I'm thinking that it doesn't necessarily need to be backed up to a wall, what if I floated it out into room a bit? I could affix the power cables to the cement floor and secure with a cable cover.
Okay, so what obvious problem am I overlooking? Below you can see the area; the countertop (sink to be installed) along the back blue wall; the tank mockup is sitting on the floor in the location I am considering. To the left of the counter I have 7 more feet of free space for future frag tanks, etc.
