It’s in a great spot………downstairs and I spend most of my time upstairs. Nothing to really do about it. I do miss sitting and watching during commercial.

THIS^Leave it out from the wall enough to have at least a little room behind the tank. I’d love to put some power heads on the back wall of my tank but I can’t get my hand between the tank and the wall to place the magnets.
This is a good one too. You'd never know how many drips there are until you're worried about keeping the floor dry.setup over waterproof flooring
I made sure mine was in the main room and high traffic area. One it makes for pushing yourself to do maintenance. I also found my fish are more out in the open in traffic area. Previous tank was in another room little traffic and when company was over they always asked where are the fish. Now they say oh you have a new fish, but I don't just out more.Be aware that high traffic areas can affect the behavior of fish and sometimes can result in timid behavior.
I was away for work and my fiance was house-sitting. Of course right before I left I installed a new 300 watt heater. She took a nap on the couch, heater turned on, circuit breaker did it’s job… siphon stopper DID NOT. The Mrs. wakes up from her nap and wonders where the blue light has gone. Sets her feet on the carpet and there is an inch of water. Probably 50 gallons on the floor. She wasn’t mad at all, but a week later I shelled out for 11k worth of LVT that she wanted!!! I think she is genuinely glad our floor was ruined, she loves telling the story hahaPut it in a place where if you have a significant spill or leak, you won't damage the house. Nothing worse than having your significant other screaming about a water caused disaster.
