Does anyone have an aquarium coffee table?

Just wondering if anyone here owns an aquarium coffee table....they look tempting but I can't imagine how you would plug it in without running cords everywhere....aside from drilling holes in the floor....and how would you clean it without making a mess??? Also, the tanks that hang on the wall....how do you clean those? And how do they not fall off the wall with all that weight?? Just curious.....

 

Seen the coffee table tanks at big als but haven't stopped to look in detail. Certainty provide a lot of lateral swim space.

 

The aquarium coffee tables are a TON of work. The only ones I've seen are powered via cords which go through holes in the floor, but I'm sure there's much better ways to wire them if you're savvy. The ones that hang on the wall... not sure what you mean. I've seen like half gallon "betta condos" that hang on the wall, but those I assume you'd just take down to clean.

 

I have one, but am not using it.

Ugh I don't think you would take this down to clean it...they range from 3-50 gallons....imagine 50 gallons hanging on your wall?

You can pass it on this way

I've seen these before. You actually have to cut a hole in the wall and mount in inside the wall. it just looks like a picture frame hanging there. I have no idea how you would do maintenance on it though.

I picked it up for $30....not because I needed it or had a place for it, but for 30 I will keep it in storage until there comes a time I can use it.

 

Found this for the wall mounted:

Found this for the coffee table:
It looks like they very from filtered/heated/light to just a giant "bowl". Maintenence looks like its from the top like a normal tank. You would remove the glass top to do tank maintenance.

Couple examples:
