Yep, anything is better than having all your utility in the middle of the living room.I ended up with a 'fish closet'...
No place to put a fish room, but I'm done working on my hands and knees under a tank. The closet is a bit tight, but it holds what it needs to, and I can CLOSE THE DOOR when I don't want people looking at it.
I know, the electrical looks like a mess, but it's really not. Everything in it's place, easy access, I'm quite happy with it
A closet is just a small room. I think you can call that a fish room.
