I saw this and I just had to share it with you. It’s just brilliant. I’d have one in my home if there were for sale:
Goldfish House
Now if that isn’t a fantastic take on doll house building I don’t know what is. I’d LOVE one of these.
The Fluval Flora Aquatic Plant Kit is a super-stunning 7.9 gallon piece of kit. Designed for those of us who like style AND like real live greenery in our tanks, the Fluval Flora is designed flawlessly for this purpose.
Like most of the Fluval tanks of this size, the Fluval Flora has a built-in internal filtration system to keep you water sparkling clean and maintains a healthy living environment for both fish and plants alike. The built in CO2 systems ensures a steady and constant supply of carbon dioxide gas in order to allow the plants to flourish and live a lush, healthy and green life. To top it off, the Fluval Flora comes with a well balanced full-spectrum light to promote vigorous and strong plant growth.
Also in the kit you get Fluval Stratum which is idea for nitrifying, balancing your pH and keeping them at natural levels, and encourages plant growth, and Nutrafin Plant Gro, a well-balanced aquatic plant fertiliser to give your aquatic plants the best start in their new habitat, and help live and maintain a strong and healthy life.

The Aquavista500 is one of the smaller Aquavista wall aquarium units we’ll review this month, and just like it’s large counterparts, lives up to the same easy-to-maintain, ‘no-nonsense’, place anywhere motto. The Aquavista500 measures 2 foot across by 2 foot hight, and just 4.3 inches deep, and holds 6.6 gallons of water.
Easy enough to hang in most small spaces, it creates a great focal point and a good conversation starter. Easy to maintain (only requiring ’10 minutes of maintenance per month’ the manufacturer claims), it’s got to be one of the easiest aquariums to look after and manage.
These units are only idea for small fish, so don’t go thinking you’re going to fit a load of Cichlids or other large species in there (think more Neon Tetra), but a great wall feature all the same.
The Aquavista500 is easy to set up, requiring no previous experience at all. It is easy to maintain via the LCD touch panel on the side of the unit, and comes with everything you need to set it up (besides water and fish of course).
Just like the other wall aquariums from Aquavista, the AV500 certainly does impress. Many people who have had, and have not had traditional aquariums in the past love this product, and comment on its ease to set up and maintain.
“We purchased our Aquavista 500 tank a few weeks ago. We just love it. We mounted it in our family room and it has become a true conversation piece and a hobby for our family.”
“It brings a new life to any room that you place it in and brings the calm and relaxing feeling that comes with a brilliant fish tank. The internal components, which consists of a filter, heater, air pump and light make this product easily to maintain which in turn makes it fun to own.”
“It took me about an hour to measure out and install the unit, and I then used cable management to hide the power cable. I will be posting pictures later today.”
A lovely wall-hanger. Perfect for those who haven’t got the space to hang the larger Aquavistas, nor the budget to purchase them. This unit is stunning once fully set up and will provide hours of wonder and entertainment to all those who own it.
Stunning wall mounted aquarium.

The Aquavista Panoramic Wall Aquarium is an absolute beauty of a modern wall-mounted alternative to a wall mounted wide-screen television or fire place. Providing a warm and rather interesting focal point in any room.
This high-end luxurious unit, like all other wall-mounted aquariums can be hung anywhere on a decent wall. You can do this yourself if you’re a dab-hand at DIY, or you can have it done professionally for a small fee. The self-contained unit comes with a built in heater and air pump, making it ideal for tropical freshwater fish. An automatic feeder, so you don’t have to remember to feed your fish daily, just fill up the feeder every so often, and it also has a built in Co2 unit, designed to help your live aquatic plants thrive inside this exotic hassle-free aquarium. Just like all it’s brothers in the Aquavista range, this unit also comes with a built in, easy-to-use touch screen that enables easy set up, and allows you to run and control your aquarium easily and efficiently.
The fact that you’re able to hang this unit on the wall means it doesn’t take up much space and relieves you of the stresses of running and maintaining a full sized aquarium.
The Aquavista Panoramic comes in two sizes, 5 foot and 6 foot, and comes in a choice of two finishes – Silver or Black.
As always we look around the internet to find genuine customer reviews on each product, just as we have done for the Aquavista. On the whole the reviews and comments are good. Many liked the fact that it was easy to look after and generally self-regulating. Another reviewer commented that it’s now the focal point to their main living room and guests cannot help but be intrigued by it. It’s also a great conversion starter.
“…it’s pretty cool. The Panoramic is shaped like a flat-screen TV and it doesn’t take up any space. There’s this touch screen thing on the right that lets you control when to feed the fish, adjust the temperature of the water, the cleaning, and all sorts of cool stuff.”
“The aquariums are easy to care for. Although 15mins might be optimistic, I spend more time enjoying the aquarium & my fish.”
“As a family, we have throughly enjoyed our Aquavista wall-mount fish tank, and I can confidently say it is the crowning jewel on our recent extensive kitchen renovation”
Simply find a couple of lines that maybe relevent to your review, and copy and paste them. Place in quote marks and italics to show the reader you are quoting that line. Include two or three quotes (or more if you deem neccessary) from previous customers who bought the product you are reviewing. Positive, negative, or neutral. As long as they give a true representation, that’s what matters.
If you’ve got a bit of cash to spare and you want something different for your home or office, or, you love fish and have neither the space for a full-sized aquarium nor the time to look after one then a wall mounted aquarium is for you. This particular model is a little on the expensive side coming in at $1,200+, but the 6 foot length and the luxury it brings to any room is a must-have for those who have a bit of cash to spare.

Ok, I’ve had a lot of people viewing this site looking for wall mounted aquariums and wall mounted fish tanks, so I figured I’d make a few posts about them and where to buy them from.
This particular wall aquarium can be hung pretty much anywhere with a strong wall. It has a shipping weight of 45 pounds, and once the unit is filled up with water it’ll weigh a little more than that.
The Searenity DORADO Wall Mounted Aquarium looks fantastic in any space, bringing a peaceful and serene focal point to any busy office or home. Measuring 46 inches across and 17 inches high by only 4.5 inches deep, it’s not intrusive by any means, and is something different that everybody will marvel at.
The blurb – “Searenity Aquariums provides a portal between modern society and our beautiful, blue sea, in order to capture these invigorating moments that life has to offer and are otherwise ignored. We take pride in bringing the breathtaking ocean and all of its splendor it has to offer to your home & business in the most innovative, creative, and artistic fashion ever created. DORADO-Meaning golden in Spanish, also referred to as Mahi-mahi, are most renowned for their illustrious coloration of gold, metallic blue, green, yellow, and white. The Dorado has a compressed body and a long dorsal fin that extends the entire length of its body. Like the Dorado, this is the most rectangular of our small aquariums. Dorado Aquariums are your ideal aperture to the sea for bedrooms, office rooms, small living rooms, or any other rooms where space is reduced or busy.”
“…once hung on my wall and set up, it made the room feel much more peaceful and looked amazing.”
“…this is exactly what I was looking for. I haven’t got space for a big tank, but this is perfect.”
“…I got one for my office, everybody keeps commenting on it and how they haven’t seen one before. Everybody loves it.”
Now, I know this isn’t a home improvement idea, however, if you’ve got a large lake out back with lots of fish in it…it might be worth considering? 
I don’t know about you, but I just don’t think I’d be able to sleep in this. No…not because it’s completely open and anybody who happens to be scuba diving could see everything you got up to…but because I’d be completely fascinated by the sealife swimming around me every minute that went by.
I wouldn’t want to go to sleep, and I couldn’t want to get up in the morning!
This I believe is owned by the Hilton chain of hotels.
Pure luxury if you ask me!

Absolutely STUNNING eh!
Just a follow up from my previous posts on in-wall fish tanks. I’ve found some more examples of these great decorative features and I wanted to share them. Hopefully it will help you come up with some ideas of your own 
These in-wall fish tanks are a great feature to have in any building, not just hotel lobbies and restaurants. They are also great for offices and homes too.
As well as adding the feeling of space and stamping your own signature of individuality on a space, they offer something for yourself and for guests to marvel at, and as aquariums are ‘living environments’, they never get boring. They’re also a fantastic example of ambient lighting.
Here’s the pics:
Since I started looking for in-wall aquariums I’m absolutely astounded at some of them. They are INCREDIBLE!

I hope you enjoy.

I was looking at fish tanks and came across a load that were built into the walls of their respective buildings. I think they look absolutely AWESOME!
It’s the type of feature I’d like to have in my home if I ever got the cash to build my own home. I’ve pulled the pictures together in a single post here for your enjoyment. Let me know what you think

The Sunpentown IM-101 Portable Ice Maker is easily one of the better Portable Ice Maker s I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing.
This portable ice make is compact and easy to use. The Sunpentown IM-101 Portable Ice Maker is self-contained and does not require installation. It has the ability to three different ice cube shape options, and can make up to 35-pounds of ice per 24 hours.
The Sunpentown IM-101 is ideal for apartments, homes, smalls bars, boats, and practically anywhere that has a 115v power outlet. Just unpack it, plug it in, and you’ll have your first dozen ice cubes withing 10 short minutes.
It really is a pelasure to use.
“… finally decided to purchased the Sunpentown IM-101 portable ice maker. I have been using it straight, non stop for about 25 days. I have not turned if off since I unpacked and plugged it. The Sunpentown IM-101 works extremely well.”
“…I purchased one of these three years ago when my old ice maker died. This machine has been running virtually non-stop for three years and performs just like it is advertised. It makes ice fast! And the ice is great for making frozen drinks. Now I’m buying one for my friend.”
“…We always have a problem keeping up with the ice needs during the summer months and this was a terrific help this year. The smallest ice cubes were great for making frozen drinks. It sits neatly on the counter and fits right in with the look of our stainless steel appliances.”
Here’s a great site for some Home Ice Maker Reviews.
Losely reffering to the ‘making-over‘ of ones home.
Let’s face it. After living in a place for a few years, looking at the same colours, the same wallpaper hanging from the walls. You’re going to want a change of scenery, surely?
Most people can’t move house often, and/or can’t afford to anyway. Or maybe you just like living where you are. You love the community, and you love your neighbers. You’re close to your family, and you’re within easy commuting distance of work.
Why not just makeover your home. Give it a facelift. Maybe home remodel a few rooms, ie, kitchen remodeling or bathroom remodeling. A lick of paint…a new color scheme? Maybe some new wallpaper. It’s all home makeover.
Many people also carried out house remodeling work, DIY or home makeover work to update and improve their home, and to improve their living conditions.
How many houses these days have 1970′s style wallpaper? Deco? Not many. People improve and upgrade their homes as they move with the times.
20 years ago not many people had place for a computer / desk / office space, and most just had a little TV in the corner of the room. These days the ‘computer area’ is present in nearly every home, and double as an office space. Also, the big grey boxes seem to be being banished from the dingy corners of living rooms and lounges right around the developed world in favour for shiny flashy flatscreen models that everybody’s hanging on their walls, and some even on the ceiling.
People also carry out home makeovers in order to add value to their homes. Normally in circumstances where money is quite scarce. When the owner cannot afford house remodeling, or home renovations and home improvements. Popping down your local DIY store and buying a few cans of paint, a new carpet, new curtains or blinds. A little effort can go a long way, and make a home look much much more presentable.
Many people also secure loans in order to improve their homes, however, this is generally geared at major renovation, structural, or remodeling works.
Home Makeover is good, and deffinately is the best way to go if you haven’t got much spare cash.
