DIY aquarium

This fish tank has been passed round my family a few times and found its final resting place in dad’s garage. It was on its way to the tip so I decided to give it a makeover. I got rid of the lid, pulled off all the black plastic bits and removed the glass that holds the evaporation tray. Next, I took a piece of acrylic I found in a fly tip and cut it to make a compartment for the plants. The rest I made into a loose lid. I got some gravel and re-potted my peace lily straight into the aquarium (apparently they love this). The desk lamp is from Ikea. The fish loved their new home so much they had babies!
