i woke up around 7 this morning to clean my previously abandoned fish tank and to repot my plants. the repotting was successful, the cleaning of the tank was successful…. but what followed… oh the horror.

i set up a little hose from my sink to fill my tank with water– but at about 3/4ths filled, i heard a creak. the stand was buckling under the weight of the water. suddenly, i was in a mad rush to empty the tank while trying to keep it stable so that the whole thing wouldn’t smash and spill 30+ gallons of water all over the apartment.

the tank is safe now, but the stand is a mangled mess of steel and wheels. i nearly had a heart attack during the whole ordeal. i’ll have to pick up a new stand for the tank– something much sturdier– and mebbe even a little prettier.
