Got an old CRT monitor sitting in your cupboard, leveling up it's dust gathering skills ? Fancy making a new home for your fish that will actually make them an interesting sight ? Well, this should be just what you're looking for: A CRT Fishtank!

I like the "circuit board" background, makes it look like he just hollowed out a monitor and dropped the fish in!

I think this could be an excellent compliment to those "fish tank cases" that were all the rage a few years back.

I was going to do this with an old iiyama, but sold it instead.

May have to try and find me an old CRT at a booty sale. Let's see of course if the Mrs wont mind first ...

NOTE: Do no attempt to plug in or turn on the monitor whent he fishies are asleep!
