Most of the times, watching the dynamics inside the aquarium is like watching TV or even better. Here the association is very clear. The aquarium and TV are placed on the same wall of the living room. Here too the aquarium is built into the wall. And since the aquarium is so relaxing and calming, you could use this in your favor and place it next to the fireplace.

But integrating the aquarium into the wall is not the only solution there is. In fact, there are others that allow you to enjoy more of the aquarium, not just one side.
