My 4-yr-old daughter has been begging me for her very own "Princess Tank" for a few months now. I kept telling her "maybe someday" or "we'll see" because I've been strapped for cash lately. Well, turns out that some friends of ours had a 10-gallon hex in their living room that they hadn't been keeping up with (for MANY moons) and wanted to get rid of. SOOOO.....

TA-DA!



This was a good oppurtunity to teach her the satisfaction of WORK and seeing the outcome/payoff.


Bag-o-goodies/filters/etc...


15 minutes, 2 brillo-pads, and a satisfied 4-yr-old resulted in this: (but don't be fooled, it was impossible to get some of the algae caught under the seals, and I'm not ready for cutting and re-sealing

Now I have to find out if I have the self-control to not take over her tank for her. That will be difficult.
