So I discovered that placing a tank against a wall is a bad idea if you need to get to the back of it to do any modifications while it is full of water/fish/rock. But apparently a window is a good idea as can be seen by my pictures. It was kind of not intended to be used this way but hey, it worked.
Backround on the situation is that I manage and have a free apartment within a Residence Hall/Dorm on a University Campus so I always keep my blinds closed. Don't want my students looking in on my personal life. So placing my tank against the window wasn't a problem since I treat that window like a wall. But when I wanted to add a light to the back chamber of my tank I couldn't figure out how to get access back there. Then it dawned on me :idea: ....... :idea: open the window, take out the screen and go to work. And hey, it worked well and I only got about 20 college students gathering around to watch the crazy boss-man working on a tank through an open window. So now I have a nice little Cheato light and a new way to access the back of the tank.
