Recently, I have re-discovered one of my old family instilled hobbies: fishes and aquarium. Brought up in a house with 5 aquariums left quite an impression on me. My late grandpa was a fish lover and made us help him with cleaning the tank and maintenance. It’s quite rare for guys especially my age to take up this hobby.
My cousin and I had a “brainstorming” session to decide how to best decorate his tank, something was wrong. Fishes keep dying and the tank is starting to look boring. It’s a 5ft x 2ft x 3ft tank and uses an overflow filtration system. And here are the end results:
The cost :
RM 43 x 2 = RM 86.00 for the backing
RM 40 x 2 = RM 80.00 for the light coloured sand
RM 20 for the dark coloured pebbles
RM 10 for the red coloured sand
RM 43 for the fertilizer
RM 7 for the round air diffuser
RM 28 for the UV light
RM 35 for the Black water
RM 28 for the Tiger Barbs
RM 20 for the new piping
So, all in all we spent bout RM 350 to redo everything. Looks awesome now. Not bad for my first custom aquarium, huh. Interesting hobby, I gotta say. Till next time.
Finally it’s done. Is that the biggest picture you can post? The background too dark, can’t see what’s inside the aquarium. So no comment so far, hehe…
