Got a "hand me down" aquarium with a cover from my friend and took a whole evening tonight to make it pretty
It used to be used for a university fish lab and the back and sides were covered in black paint. The paint was scraped off, but not all of it. I cleaned it all up and painted to match my red IKEA Expedit case exactly, including its mesh cover. Also added the same woody background to it that I put on my Expedit cages.
It's going to go on top of the case, and I'm not sure who'll go there yet... I'm thinking of upgrading Izzie to it and moving Leela to Izzie's home, which is nearly identical to her Billy cage in size, even slightly bigger (so the set up should be the same).
I was going to keep it in storage in case my boys fall out, but so far there's no sign of that, and I hate seeing larger cages standing empty when I have hams who could be upgraded
It's 36" x 18" (91cm x 47cm)
