Turn a Old Aquarium Tank to an Indoor Garden

 

Budding Garden in my Living Room

I had this fish tank for more than three decades. It belonged to my uncle who gave it to us when he moved to US. In these years, it has seen many new fishes, different layout, change in location as we moved house.  One of the favorite fish was Simson with dark orangish shade. However, with years of usage, the tar coat on the base started to crack and leaks started to form. 


I remember how I tied it behind my cycle and went all the way to meen amavam at Vazudacadu ( MP Appan Road). He did a neat job of repairing it with fresh layer of tar kind of stuff and it began a new lease of life. 

And after many years, the leakage started. This time, it was shelved. No longer any shop repaired this kind of fish tank. 

Now in 2020, I decided to reuse it as a mini garden space. Luckily it fitted correctly in our showcase in the living room. 

What you see now is the growth of plants after two months. There are still spaces which needs to be landscaped. Hope to start one more of such project
