For a new fishroom, I'd suggest a couch, or at least a comfy chair with a view of at least a few favorite tanks. My fishroom's 4 months old, and already I regret the fact that while I've effectively used every inch designated for my dwarf cichlids, I made a work space for a hobby. You have to be able to comfortably watch the show. You also should have space all the weird little necessities - live food, places for artificial incubation, killies, coffee cup holders... and a good work table area. Have fun. -Gary Ps In Florida.
