Turn Your Toilet Tank Into An Aquarium
The "Fish and Flush" Aquarium is a two-piece aquarium toilet tank that measures 19 1/2 in. long by 8 1/2 in. wide by 13 3/4 in. high. The clear tank replaces the original tank and fits most standard toilets that use two bolts to secure the tank to the bowl. A 2.2-gal. aquarium wraps around the outside of the inner flush tank and can be easily removed for cleaning. The aquarium tank will support fresh, salt, warm or tropical water. The outer aquarium kit includes an air pump, under-gravel filter, air stones, backdrop, and two 9-in. plastic plants.
It's a complete aquarium kit - just add fish, gravel and water.
The inner flush tank comes with a complete toilet tank trim kit including the fill valve, flush valve, tank-to-bowl gasket, and a custom flush button. The clear toilet tank is made from a strong co-polyester similar to the tough plastic used for water bottles. It's flushed by pushing a button on top of the tank, which lifts a chain to flush the toilet.
"Children love watching the aquarium. The fish appear to fly out of the water whenever the toilet is flushed," says David Parrish. "The tank can support up to five to seven small fish."
"People have also used the aquarium for lizards, turtles, and other pets. One creative person built a mini doll house in the tank for their young daughter to assist in toilet training. Another person made a Christmas scene by installing Styrofoam, fake snow, a sled and Christmas lights. You can even cut up photos and place them in the space between the two tanks."
Sells for $299 plus S&H. An optional two-unit LED aquarium light kit creates a moonlit environment in your bathroom. It sells for $25 plus S&H.
