reef tank over top of fire place

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
