67 : clean fish tank

When we first got our office in 2007, one thing we knew we wanted to have was fish. Being the designers we are, we didn't want a standard old bowl. So we tried various glass vases, until we discovered that if we really wanted goldfish, we'd need an aquarium.

So we scoured the internet and finally found the mini biOrb aquarium. It's super modern and looks great sitting centered on the edge of our desks.

After purchasing 3 goldfish, we learned just how dirty they actually are (they're called "pigs of the water"... harsh?). We also learned the aquarium needs cleaning pretty often.

With the tank in plain site for us and visitors, there's nothing like having a freshly cleaned, crystal clear tank. Even if we have been guilty of waiting...a bit too long to clean it (Monique told the guy at the fish store that we clean it when it gets "funky"... I'm surprised they didn't kick us out on the spot).

But hey, we still have Lulu, our lone goldfish, alive and well for almost 2 years!
