Well it's a bit like having a fish tank with only water in and nothing else isn't it. How long can you possibly look at it for. :lol:

its different and quirky which is kinda cool its not like its an eye saw or something in your face. its subtle 8-) let us know how you get on.
Id miss the fish out if i were you though. that would make for a very smelly lude
