my ghetto rigged tank

lol...so here is my 75 gallon 'headboard' tank. there's no headboard about it but it sits at the head of my bed. i'm in the process of making a hood and buying lamps for this sucker....nothing at the stores seems to fit. luckily none of the fish have tried escaping and landed on me while i was sleeping. here are some pics of the bed and of the fish.

lol see the bucket to the left of the bed? i siphon it out on that side. if i'm cleaning the gravel i just do it easily and don't splash around.

I guess you don't live in earthquake territory. Otherwise a Darwin Award might be in your future.

haha nope...pennsylvania here.


and about drowning....the tank actually has a very tiny crack in it. i sealed it. let it break i feel the need to get kicked out of this apartment or else i'll never move to a better one.
