I've got one of those clocks only in the fishermans version. It has fish all around it rather than birds and every hour it makes the sound of a fish jumping and the screaming drag of a fly reel lol

You mean like this?

You know...I like fishkeeping but was never really a fan of fishing. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever caught a fish in my life LOLOLOL..must be doing something wrong...

Yep thats it. $189 CAN???? wow. I bought mine probably 15 years ago and I think I paid no more than maybe $25usd for it back then.

Its broken...


Although it is broken beside a tree so I'm wondering if someone tried to throw it in the tree and broke it?

Huh, that is what it looks like.
People are so weird. Lol

Those clocks are awesome. I could see my daughter wanting the bird one and my husband wanting the fishing one. Haha.
I hope this year we will actually get a chance to go out fishing. Last year we didn’t go out at all. Just too busy.

No, acrylic is fine sitting for a long time, nothing to dry up or crack like silicone. That's actually why I went with acrylic for my 240, my 265 was a pain and leaked after I set that glass monster up so I made a promise to myself that any tank I get that is over 125g will only be acrylic. Just have him send you pics of all sides and corners and look for any crazing in the panels and corners. Long as you don't see that then you should be good. Ask him how thick the panels are as well, you will get some bow in a tall acrylic if the panels are not 3/4" or better. It's not a deal breaker by any means, my 30" tall 240 is 1/2" and bows about 1" without any issues, but thicker is always better though.

Thanks for that. I'm waiting on pics now and it's .75 thickness.

That's like $2 USD...kidding LOL yeah Amazon is weird like that. Sometimes I'll be looking for something that sells for maybe $20 and the same item will be $200 from another seller.

Good for him...and you! How old is he? Perhaps when he's older, he can do all the tank maintenance for you
