project: fishtank
so i decided last week i am going to revive my fish tanks. i have a biggish one (i think it’s 1.2m and the small one is just a mere 30cm i think)
when the last fish died about 8 months ago i decided to stop the whole fishtank thing and placed my empty fishtank in the garage hoping one day i’ll set it up again. last week that day arrived.
i decided to get it out the garage, get a cloth, hosepipe and clean the tank. what a mission!
cleaning the tank
once that was done i left it dry a little before i started. i didn’t know where to put the tank at first but then i found a cool spot and of course had to wait till the wife got home for the approval cause once you put water in there is no moving it! the spot that was chosen has no sunlight at all and also the view from the kitchen and lounge is awesome to view it.

from the dining table
now the fun part begins. i first cleaned the stones up and then placed them evenly around the tank and also added the background wallpaper .

then i started adding the water, took about 10 or 12 buckets to fill it up.
