I'm planning to build a new stand for my 125 gallon. The existing stand is
25" high, and I'm thinking that perhaps it should be higher. The tank is
23" high.

I keep my aquarium in the living room, and it will be viewed mainly by
people sitting on sofas.

What do you think the height of the stand should be? All opinions will be
considered.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.


My stand is 34 1/2" in height. When setting on my sofas I look right at the
tank and when standing in front I don't have to bend over to look at it.

Are your eyes at the same height whether sitting or standing?

Aww, sorry. Had to write it. Only joking!

No
At 5'10" looking at a tank that is setting on a 24" stand is just a pain.
