We didn’t know this, being fish tank newbies, but you need to fill the tank with fresh water, not tap. Score! When my husband said he was going to build this cabinet, I was skeptical, but it doesn’t look half bad and there is plenty of room in it to hold all the fish tank supplies. My husband saves everything, so we had the cabinets (which we previously used as a seating bench in our old kitchen), the legs (which are leftover rails from our staircase railing), and even the screws to attach them. The first thing we had to do was build the stand that you see in the below picture to hold the tank. It is a 55 gallon tank, which is a pretty good size. Since we don’t have the kind of money to invite the TV show Tanked into our home to build an amazing, huge and super cool aquarium, we had to settle on one we found at PetSmart. But, my husband and boys really wanted one, so I reluctantly agreed.
Am I right? You don’t usually see them in pictures of living rooms in the home design magazines or on the design tv shows, unless they are the super fancy ones like on the show Tanked. I mean, they are not exactly an interior designer’s dream. I must admit I was VERY skeptical about adding an aquarium to our living space.
