Fish Tank Coffee Tables

Owing your own fish tank coffee table can be a great experience. Turning your fish tank into a focal point of the room and having the fish create stunning visual displays is amazing. For those with less space in their apartments and houses it also offers the ability to have both a fish tank and coffee tank without needing space for two pieces of furniture!

Why Choose a Fish Tank Coffee Table?

There are a number of reasons to choose a fish tank coffee table, including:

  1. Stunning visual displays. There are several different types of fish tank coffee tables available for sale in the market today. Regardless of which one you choose you can be certain that you’ll be able to have brilliant visuals of your fish as they swim around your fish tank aquarium. Coffee table aquariums have the advantage of being predominantly glass on all sides (importantly including the hood) . This helps to maximize the viewing angles and your fish tank experience.
  2. A focal point of your room. Instead of being placed against a wall, or in the corner, your fish tank aquarium can now be a focal point of your room.
  3. Saving space. By doubling your fish tank as a coffee table you will be able to save space in your room – perfect for those who have limited space in their apartment or house.

This aquarium coffee table, by MidWest Tropical, has base dimensions of: length: 30″ x Width: 30″ x Height: 16″ which is approximately 76 x 76 x 41 cm. The glass top is 38 inches by 38 inches (approx. 97 x 97 cm).

Having glass on all 6 sides, and of course the top, makes for a great viewing experience.

The Long Octagon fish tank coffee table is easy to assemble at home. It is easier to have help putting the top in place, but it can be moved by one person if necessary. This is particularly important when it comes to ensuring that the coffee table aquarium is cleaned on a regular basis.

One thing that we do recommend is to not fill it completely to the top. Leave a gap of around 4 inches for the best experience. The

Also produced by MidWest Tropical, this 15 gallon fish tank coffee table is exquisite. It has a 3/8 inch beveled glass top and makes for an excellent coffee table aquarium. The aquarium is illuminated from underneath, through a blue glass gravel. The black acrylic pedestal base is designed to hide the filters from view.

The aquarium makes a great addition to most living rooms, adding a peaceful tranquility. One thing to bear in mind, however, is the need to get electricity to the under tank light. This is easy where you are able to run cords under the carpet (or the tank is beside the wall). But it will need extra consideration if you are planning to place the table in the center of your room away from any power sources.
