Passing of an Aquarium

After months of reliable operation, the pump on my Wal-mart 5 gallon aquarium passed on. Due to the construction of the aquarium, I could not purchase an over-the-counter pump and Wal-mart refused to honor the 2-yr dealer exchange stated in the tank manual warranty. This left me with a quandary, what to do while shipping my motor in for repair.

Kim and I visited Petco, Petsmart, and finally Petco once again before deciding to purchase a new tank. I opted not to go with a box kit as none of the filters included the awesome bio-wheel filtration system. I selected a spacious 10 gallon tank, a florescent hood, a Marineland filter, and some green and blue gravel. The system is up and temperature is right--I'm moving the fish later tonight. I think they'll appreciate the extra space.

Check back over the weekend to see pictures of the new aquarium.
