Answer 1

I literally drew a diagram, per your outline of your room.  I would put the tv on the north wall so that there is not a glare on the tv screen.  Then I would center the sofa in the center of the room facing the tv and to look out the windows.  I would place the side table behind the sofa with decorative items or photos, etc. Then place your loveseat facing the west wall at the east end of the sofa so that they make an L shape and the tv can also be seen from it.  On the east wall I would center the aquarium on it.  You could also put the tank on the west wall if you wanted to view the fish.  As an added touch, I would put an end table between the point of the sofa and love seat (where the L shape would meet).  A square coffee table could be placed in front of the sofa and loveseat.  Hope I wrote this to be understood what I mean and hope it helps.

Answer 3

i would put your couch about 3/4 back facing away from the  large window (you'll get a silhouette effect on the TV if you don't).

Place your 42 " TV on the South wall/ The love seat should go at a 45 degree angle to the sofa on the east wall (also facing the TV.

I would place my aquarium on the west wall , and try to add a side chair beside it.

Side table either beside the couch, (if it's an end table), behind it (if it;s a sofa table), or in front of it ( if it's a coffee table.

You should hang a large painting on the wall opposite the fish tank with colors like that in your fish tank.
