    Hi guys, im planning to shift my 35cm low tech tank into my room. But im worried that there will be a problem with the air circulation as my room's door is closed most of the time and windows closed all the time. Wil this affect plant growth or the fishes that im going to put inside?

    Small tank should not be an issue.

    If you can survive inside your closed room, then should not be a problem for your tank. I do not think your fauna will use more O2 than you.

    But seems very stuffy which may increase your room temperature by abit? If so, adding a cooling fan is a good idea

    I'm assuming that one should empty a tank of its contents prior to shifting?

    watch out for humidity! i have a 45cm tank in my room. My room is alot more humid than without.

    I have survived sleeping in that room for 1 year already. should be ok.

    another thing is make sure the tank is silent..

    I heard from a fengshui practitioner before that having fish tank in a room is not good. :/
