This is our new fishtank.

It contains no fish. Yet.

Thought we could just stroll along to a garden centre on a wet Bank Holiday Monday, buy a goldfish or two and whack them in a bowl. But life's never that simple.

Had to buy a tank with a heater, light, filter and pump, 3 different additives, a syphon, a magnetic scum cleaning thingy and a bag of gravel.

Couldn't buy any fish cos you have to wait for the filter to get full of bacteria. Going to get the water tested on Sunday. Then maybe, just maybe, we can get a couple of fish to get us going.
