I have a kitchen/dining room and my main 55g is in the corner on the dining room side.

I read in your other post that you're concerned about people bumping into the tank as they walk by. In my experience, if it's a tight sqeeze at all, it's a bad idea... especially if you have kids.

That looks like a great spot. I don't think the chairs would hit it unless someone gets a little too overzealous.

Good luck with the kids. I have 6 tanks in the house with a 3 year-old... he's no trouble because I explained how he can help by "being nice" to the fish and only looking at them instead of touching the glass and how there's a lot of stuff that's dangerous to play with in the cabinet underneath the tank. They're only in peril when my friends' kids are here :crazy:

As for the white stand issue, a can of white spray paint only costs a few bucks
