Fish Tank Resurrection
Yes, I have finally decided to resurrect my fish tank. After being influenced by my fish nut colleague whom I "converted" last time, I am going to start up my empty tank again.
You see, I was a fish nut long time ago and was responsible in introducing this hobby to my colleague who went on to become a major nut.
Me on the other hand, stopped fishkeeping after moving to my apartment. I kept hamsters in the tank instead.
After my hamsters died, the tank was just left sitting in my study room.
So a week ago, I bought the silicone sealant to reseal the corners of the tank as most of them were already bitten off by my hamsters last time.
I procrastinated in doing the sealing until a few days ago. It's not easy at all to carry out this task. You have to press the sealant tube with consistent pressure as you move along the corners. I did a very lousy job on this one. I now have new respect for those people who make fish tanks for a living.
Then I left it to dry for a day or two before putting it through a "leak test". So currently it is sitting in my bathroom while I monitor the water level. I guess tomorrow I will know whether this tank is fit enough for me to proceed.
If it is, my next step is to get the stand, filter and gravel; and set up the tank before welcoming the fish.
