Our old aquarium has served us reasonably well for the last two odd years that we've had it. Granted the Jebo has seen it's share of dramas including a melted lid from an overheated fuse and blinking lights from condensation but our fish have lived a content perhaps somewhat cramped existance in it. The latest development however has resulted in the quiet decline of the tank's air filter. Empathic owners that we are we figure our pets would like to continue breathing so it was time to say farewell to the old gal. I mean look at that gunk and rust.
Now no one in our family ever buys something new unless it's an upgrade so I was pretty darn keen to lookout for a bigger, better model while keeping within the spatial constraints of our counter top. Boy did we manage to get one (good price too) and this time we've settled for no less than two filters to suck all the nasties out of it. It even has a plastic plate over the lights to prevent a little condensation from turning our aquarium into an insurance claim.
The transfer was going to be a big one so we thought it best to move the fish to a holding cell temporarily. They weren't too impressed with the accomodation but thankfully they didn't have to stay there too long.
Now they have heaps of space to swim and grow. Yay!

That looks great guys! Only 1 concern: it's not red! Oh well, I suppose I can live with the change.
And you didn't miss much at Ikea. As usual we arrived and were completely overwhelmed by the sheer size of the place. It took us about an hour to grab our desk and attempt our escape route, but managed to get lost again and horribly distressed and claustrophobic due to all the dirty people milling around us! Not pretty.
Yeah, we were pretty bummed that they didn't have red. We did put a red back on it though so it still sorta ties into the rest of the kitchen. :P
Hope there weren't any dramas setting up your desk.
