Something Fishy
Tired of that old HD TV? I recommend watching an aquarium and enjoying simple pleasures.

Liz, I am such a lazy human being, worse now that I am in my 60s. I used to have a fresh water aquarium, but gave it away when I got married. Too much of a hassle to clean it.
How often does a SALT water tank have to be cleaned? Do you have to drain it and refill with sea water?
Once the water gets seasoned and the environment is stabilized (lots of testing to start with), I clean the surfaces of algae every week or so and siphon the bottom and do a 1/4 tank water change every 2-3 weeks.
Sea water has too many critters so I make salt water with Instant Ocean and Pur filtered water from the kitchen sink. I keep a 30gal plastic trash can nearby with extra salt water. It has a sponge filter running in it and I rotate the large pieces of coral rock in it. I usually keep extra hermit crabs and a fish in there too.
If I had half a brain, I would've studied and become a marine biologist.
Instead, I was born with just my good looks *sigh*
When I was young, I lived in WI in a rural/resort area. We had all kinds of animals around - and I began to raise guppies - a good indoor hobby for cold winter months. We kept the tanks in the warm kitchen.
Some day, if the day ever comes when I can spend more time at home, I would like to raise fish again. I really enjoyed breeding and showing Betta splendens a few years ago.
My Mom's aunt used to raise all kinds of fish. There must have been 25 tanks throughout the home. I used to love to visit and would sit and watch all the fishes for hours. She used to show fish, too!
They were a lot more fun than her award winning flowers and orchids.
