Odd question but I am curious.
I have read lots about the potential causes of DE and wondered if the height of the tank should be considered when setting up.
I am in the midst of setting up my aro's new home - a nice 340G. It will be in my office where I spend 8 - 10 hours per day. My desk is standard 30 inch height - and I sit.
If the tank is going to be beside my desk (knowing he will have activity in front of his tank 8 - 10 hours a day), should the tank be positioned so he looks up, looks across, or looks down?
Most stands are 30 inches high...and with a large tank. The top height will be around 66 inches. If he swims across the top - he will be constantly looking down on the activities in the room (as I will be sitting).
Too paranoid?
