Does the aquarium have a cover or lid?
I foresee Abbass jumping into the aquarium when you are gone.
I can also see him jumping onto the lighting fixture....can you close the door to this room when you are gone? The hanging cord could present a problem, too.
I'd also worry he will jump into the aquarium before it is filled and knock it over
There are forum members with both cats and aquariums. Hopefully a few of them can help you out!

Yes, a different room that can be closed off would be best, if you are not going to have a lid on it. You may want to rethink that option, however. I can almost guarantee Abbass will try fishing if there is no lid or cover...and depending on the type of fish you choose, they may jump out without a cover or lid.
A floor-to-ceiling screen or doors that can be closed and locked would work, too!

I bought two things like this, it lengh is 52" long by 70" high. The lamp is around 61" high, so the parevent clear out.
Abbas is affraid about the water, i already try to put him in the bath....the worse thing to do lol.
If he dont see the tank and lightning, he will not try to jump on it. When we are at the house, he is with us.

This may work. You might have to create a cover over the top. Are you planning to attach it to the wall?
Be aware Abbas may just try to climb this enclosure....if the white areas are paper, he might rip that, too....all you can do is try

Welcome to my world.
We have a 205G rimless ELOS reef tank in our living room.
The light fixture over our tank is mounted VERY securely, and we have a cover but not a canopy. It is actually made of mesh. I'll have Michael take a photo and post it here.
The cover deters Diablo and Jarvis. Mickey likes to get on top of the rim though, and he has been known to go fishing successfully. When he got a rhomboid I almost cried.
How large is your new tank?
I have found that the cats interest in the tank ebbs and flows, depending on what else in their enviroment is interesting. During the summer they are least interested in the tank.
