Twenty thousand leagues under the sea

What was the first thing my boyfriend did, right after I my aquarium was filled up and furnished? Of course! He bought a mobile remote u-boat to annoy the crap out of it's residents. Of all the fish in the sea, I've caught the nerdiest nerd I guess. :D But driving the u-boat really is fun.

And to put something new onto his blog, he recorded some of the test diving.



My rainbow fish seemed rather unimpressed by the two red glowy eyes which seemed pretty scary to me, but my cat didn't think so as well.

Some more pictures of the finished aquarium:

I'll probably just leave it like that and let the plants grow the remaining space shut.

Sketch Dump

Well, it is a drawing blog afterall. So I ought to upload some drawings now and then. And it's not like I wasn't drawing at all lately. It's more like I don't draw while being at home anymore. School is the only place where I can draw in peace, because what else would I have to do right?

My scanner from work is really good, so I abused it for my sake. Be prepared! It's the whole best-of of my sketchbook, which is almost full. (took me long enough, about 11 months or so.)

Mr. Crabs is in town

Since I'm bored and trying to distract me from eating, I'll show you the remaining pictures I've made.

Phantom kitty. :D I love my new cam.

Just making recent pictures of all the aquariums I have now.

There it issss. There are still roots and stuff missing, but I'm literally broke at the end of this month and I need to wait until I get my paycheck. :|

I unconsciously ordered those plants in groups of the same kind. OCD much.

My glas shrimp Loki being badass in his corner. He keeps trying to attack my fingers when I show it to him from outside.

These rainbowfish were my labrats for trying out if the water specs for my big new aquarium. But don't you worry, nonono! I went to the zoo shop the next day and they told me my water was just fine. :3

It's a bit empty now wih the plants mostly in my big aquarium, but it's for the greater good!

Look at this crab. LOOK AT HIM. He is huge and scary. He's the boss. And my brother (it's his crab) has some kinda love/hate relationship with him. Mr. Crabs does look badass, but he also hates plants. Any plant that my brother tried to grow in there was MURDERED brutally by his steady cropping pinchers.

MuahhahaHAHAH

One fine glass box

I PROMISED. So here they are. Well at least some teaser pictures. The completely "furnished" aquarium will be posted soon, too. But right now I just wanna show off how BIG it is.

At first I thought it was 2 m wide. Because it seems way more gigantic  in reality than it looked on the photo.
But as the next picture proofs, its really only 1,60 m.

We've had way bigger trouble getting it than I've had expected. In and out of the car it made scratches all over the furnishing, up the stairs and in my apartment was only possible with my boyfriends parents using a ladder and a rope to make some kind of construction to carry it upstairs. I didn't even carry it most of the time, but that was enough work for one day already.

Worrying about it breaking all the time also made me slightly grumpy.

It's my precious °-° It's an extern filter that takes the water through a pipe out of the aquarium, inside that filter and back into the aquarium, again through a thin pipe. This way I don't have a giant filter inside the aquarium anymore and it looks more natural. *.*

And usually it would cost 100 € alone but I only paid like 100 € for the whole aquarium plus cupboard and filter. Woo!

Phoebe was very interested in the smell of all the new things. She also constantly jumped inside the empty aquarium, that was lying on the couch for the rest of the week. You know. Up on the backrest, down into the aquarium, and then miaowing miserably as soon as she wanted out until someone came and took her, because she couldn't get out herself.

Stupid cat.

This is my old, tiny aquarium (120 l), stuffed with all the plants that I have collected for the day that I would have to fill an aquarium more than thrice as big as this one (400 l).

I don't have an "after" picture of both my aquariums yet, but I tell you that the amount of plants I had is not quite sufficient.

Big giant motherf***ing thing.

And that's the cupboard that came with it, a day after we've got the aquarium.

More pictures coming soon~~~

P.S.: I'm at 8,5 kg weight loss. :D 9 to go. RAAAGE.
