Cookie Monster our B&G's cage is approx 10' from our main display tank. His playstand is about 5' from it. He likes to watch the fish and tries to get them through the glass. There's nothing for him to get to with the aquarium, all of the wiring is in the canopy or behind it. We also don't leave him out unsupervised... just too much he can get into.
We have 4 parrots... we have to leave sometimes when they get going real good. Mostly it's been a real joy so far though. I would def. not recommend a macaw for a 1st bird though, they are stubborn and smart.. and they will test you and your patience plenty of times. Personally I wouldn't worry much about the bite factor with a macaw.. they're big on bluffing, you just have to pay attention to the body language. The ones that I hate the bite the worst from are the smallest, parrotlets. God they're pinchy little things.. hurts like heck.
If you have your heart sit on a scarlet, you need to talk to some people than own them. They're a bit more cockatoo-like in their neediness than many of the other macaws. And if you and your spouse work during the day, do yourself and the scarlet a favor and just say no.
