Electrical

Check for electrical outlets near the place you want to set you tank.  Nothing is more frustrating than setting up a tank only to find out that you have nowhere to plug in your aquarium equipment.  Make sure that electrical outlets and trust me you need more than one and are in good working condition and are close to the tank so you don’t have extension cords lying around, which can short out, look messy, are difficult to clean around, and can cause people to trip.  And make sure your outlets are up to code.  If necessary, get a professional electrician to install a new outlet; or use a multi-outlet strip. Be careful to locate the plugs far enough away so waters not splashed over the electric outlets.

Cleaning

Once in while, you have to do a little cleaning and maintenance on your aquarium.  So ensure you have left enough room around your tank to allow cleaning and easily access.

Even aquariums with tight-fitting hoods tend to have drips and dribbles every so often.  So one way or another, you have to get behind your aquarium at some point.  Make sure when you are setting up your tank that you have plenty of space to take care of any problems that may occur.
