Aquarium … again?

Yes. On May 1st, our neighbor put out on the curb this huge tank with the stand. Jojo was out watering the plants and they got talking and they asked if we wanted it instead of it ending up in the trash. Well yeah! So we brought it over and washed it and set it up in the basement. Our neighbor said it was a 55 gallon tank but when we measured and converted it, it turned out to be 46. It was still big! Remember when we started out with a tiny 1gallon years ago, then 5 (now serving as a nursery), then our current which is 28 that we bought in December. Now we’re up to 46 (^_^)

I resealed it on the 6th and then we bought gravel and decor and started setting it up the next day. Filled it with water Saturday night and let it start cycling. Then yesterday, Jojo thought that it would be better if the tank was in the living room since more people will see it there instead of the basement. So I had to vacuum the water out during the day, more vacuuming after dinner, and then we carried it to the living room, filled it again and re-start the cycling.

Here’s what it looks like. This spot is where our bench used to be. We moved that across the sofa. I think we have to move the picture frame a little higher too … next time.

I can’t wait to buy bigger fishies for this!
