I wouldn't place an aquarium in an infants room.

There are a lot of things that can potentially harm children so there's no need to add more.

Couldn't you just anchor the stand to the wall? Directly into the studs and put a lock on the cabinet door and keep the powerstrip in there?

leave the tank in the bedroom and put the baby's crib out in the garage...

 

[phillyfishguy]

I second baby in the garage. Just make sure you baby safe the garage and your golden.

Here is what I did went when I wanted a reef in my babies room. No evaporation to worry about. These pictures are of the work that was in process I need to take some updated ones. The artist went crazy, all four walls are packed with detail.

i have never see so much stupid **** on one thing in my life as this !
are childern can be hurt just going out side so what most of u are saying is put them in a bubble !

a tank is not going to hurt the child a 29 cube fased down right is just fine !
if the rest of u are wored about a tank with childern get out of it and go to something eles !

If you are going to inform the rest of us how stupid we are please learn how to do those simple things such as spell correctly and your points will come across much better.

Good luck.

And here is where I feel like I'm on facebook. I instinctively tried to 'like' your post.

The man does have a point, everyone saying no stating safety concerns needs to look into the terms overprotective, and in future helicopter parenting.

my only concern is about halide lights.... obviously not a concern in this guys proposed set up, but it is worth remembering that a youngsters point of view is from a lower angle, so there is the potential for them to to stare into the halide... as much as i like to think they would close their eyes and NOT look into it, its still something to consider...is it against my TOS to say that someone who posted a few posts above me is an *******? I wouldn't want to make a TOS violation.

YEs, this may be a bit overly concerned...but im guessing that EVERY first time parent is a bit overly concerned. if you're not worried abut your infant, you probably shouldn't have one.

I do not see anything wrong with it for an infants room. Like others have said, simply take the safety measures with it that you normally would for an infant. I would only be concerned about it once the child is old enough to climb and grab things that are higher up in the room. If the tank is sturdy and out of reach till they are older I do not see the problem.

An AIO would be perfect for a babies room. I am expecting in September and she will def. be having a nano in her room.

Infants room = No problem. Toddlers room = disaster.

About a year ago our daughter came over with her four year old son and Taco Bell for lunch, while i was at work, visiting my wife. I get home, give the wife a kiss and give the grandson a hug, then naturally make my way over to the reef to find the water cloudy and looking into the sump, a half eaten BURRITO floating and Flake food container EMPTIED!!!!!!

Murphy's Law = Toddlers law.

Trust me, I have 5 kids.....grown.....thank god.

 

[Flippers4pups]

No need to be hysterical imo, there is alot of things that can potentially harm children. Just make sure everything is secure, like you normally would do.

Just takes that one Hot Wheel thrown at the right velocity and at the right height and she's a goner!

Look, I'm not saying keep your kid in a bubble or hover over their every move, But..... Somethings are better left alone. Keep the tanks in the living room or den....etc.... and let your kid be a kid.

 

[reefmanmatt]

we ran a 28 jbj in our room , and a 46 bowfront in the livingroom when my daughter was first born in a tiny little condo in boise . never had any problems what so ever . plus a little noise of the pumps and things sure helps the bedtime issue too --->

That's amazing! Definitely the reef I'll be putting in my future kid's room. Did you guys do the work yourselves or get someone else?

I've read that like a half dozen times and still have no clue what it means...

 

[reefmanmatt]

We hired someone to do the work. She was moving to Hawaii and really wanted an underwater room to add to her portfolio. We scored she charged us next to nothing and anyone who comes over can't help but smile when they walk into AJ's room.

 

[Greysoul]

.... I mean... why not just go all the way? What about a 400-500 gallon tank and a little scuba set up? Or at least a snorkel and mask...

that would be awesome.

well... until the baby ends up in the overflow :\
