Looks cool to me, the counter raises up to access the aquarium. Would you have this in your kitchen? Mine's too small, but if I had a large fancy kitchen, I'd think about it, lol.

All I can think about is having to clean that. :( Well at first and then, I was thinking how nice the wall backdrop is and if I should duplicate it when I move to the next apt. :D
 
If I could afford an aquarium like that, I'd afford to hire somebody to clean it regularly. Last 20 gal aquarium I had when i was young, I used to siphon out the water for cleaning by sucking on a small hose until the flow started into a bucket. I'm tellin' you, if the timing's not right, it's not a pretty picture. :eeew:
 

My son has an aquarium and a special fish that licks the inside walls of the tank clean of algae, so very little maintenance there LOL.

Same here tho, If I had that kind of a kitchen, I'd have the moola to pay someone to clean.
 
My husband bought one of these to keep the tank clean. When it was tiny, I just thought it was ugly. When it grew quickly like a weed, and darted around the tank, I was actually scared of it. :eek:

My late husband had saltwater tanks for a while and that's something I don't ever want to think about taking care of again. You have to keep "on top" of a saltwater tank constantly or it gets out of hand. We gave it up after we had taken a notion to raise seahorses. We had eleven big males and one hot-to-trot female. Wouldn't you know it.....eleven gay seahorses. She'd swish back-and-forth with that "hey, sailor" look and they'd all huddle together in a corner of the coral until she gave up. Of course, I don't blame them....the male carries the young. Unfortunately, we went away for a weekend, left the whole thing on automatic; the heater thermostat malfunctioned and cooked them all. We couldn't even get an appetizer out of them. Bummer.
 
Hubby talks about getting a saltwater aquarium, and we both love the fish, they are beautiful. But I tell him I'm against it, and he would have to care for it completely on his own. Also, when we go camping for a couple of weeks, we'd have to have a neighbor come in to care for them. I don't think we'll ever get one, if we do, I double the fish would last...even the fresh water ones didn't fare well.
