    Are those spider plants in the back there? I moved some of mine to water and just…forgot. 2ft roots and it’s thriving

    I was seriously looking to see if any of those were a literal aquarium PC case, like the Metalfish Y2. Still, they’re all delightful.

    Oh, I also see PS3 games on the shelves, I know they’re not the focus, but that’s also delightful.

      Oh, forgot to add, the ps3 (my second one) still works, I load up Dark Souls on it every once in awhile.

        I bought mine used in 2021, had to get it repasted, delidded, and even install extra capacitors to support the original Tokins, and she’s still kicking. We mostly play PS1 games on it these days. I will keep my console and my collection healthy, here’s hoping for both of us!

        Ive thought about it, but i just dont have the space currently, even for a little filterless setup. I’ll be moving again soon, hopefully I’ll have enough space for maybe a little shrimp tank or some pygmy cories

    Is the one in the middle filled with water? At first I thought it’s an imposter (terrarium) but then I saw the filter and I’m confused.

    Aquariums are beautiful, and if I had the dicipline I would get one.

    Really lovely.

    I think I’m finally old enough, and mature enough, to admit that aquariums aren’t for me… I love them, love the ambiance, the esthetic…everything about them but the fucking maintenance…

      Aquarium maintenance is rough, I’m in the same boat. Last go at it I did do bamboo shrimp, but somehow a trumpet snail snuck into the tank and it became a trumpet snail tank no matter how many I removed. Even drained it and no luck.

      The bamboo shrimp were peaceful to watch. They’d make this little circle together and feed. But it looks liked they were doing an extra incantation to summon a shrimp god.

      If there is a lot of maintenance you’re doing it wrong. Quick waterchange once a month (10 minutes, if that) filter rinse every third time you do a waterchange. Done.
