reef tank over top of fire place

[mark]

got a TV above the gas fireplace, shelf it sits on gets a little warm with the the fire on wouldn't say hot

I'm a gas fitter...... Fireplaces don't come with tempered glass that's a sperate pane if glass generally very expensive which is what you see when fireplaces are in ensuites close to water
regular glass that's hot water splashes on it crack shatter all bad.
It would look cool but not practical at all I'm sure you could find a much better spot to put a tank

Is this a zero clearance fireplace built into the wall with access to the back and will the aquarium be flush to the wall? if so then a beefed up stand over the fireplace should be all that's needed. not a good idea to have the tank out from the wall with the bottom exposed to convective heat from the fireplace. there is a clearance to combustible specs in the installation manual of the fireplace, start there.

the tank would be backing onto wall.

my worst fear would be a leak. tank or plumbing but it definatelywould look good
