    Our livingroom aquarium is a reef tank so is for catertainment purposes only. We do have a big tank water basin thing for the kittes and a large dog bowl if they prefer it. Also, they will sip from the toilet which is gross. The kittes are inside/outside so have outdoor resources as well (considering our NE Zone 6 bizarre torrential rains… almost tropical rains.

      Ah, see my toilets are always covered, my cats are indoor-only, and I haven’t had a dog in decades, so I don’t have weather worries except for my chicken friends (USDA hardiness zone 4, whooo we can’t do shit!) and whatever else.

      And I don’t have the finances to marine a tank lol that shit is wildly expensive, and intensive, and I’m lazy as sin lol so freshwater plant water cubes are what I keep mostly. I have a 55 gal in the kitchen with like 5 live bearing small fish… I’m not a fish person, I’m a “box of water with some plants in” sort of person :)

      Fwiw tho my USDA zone 4 has been getting monsoon rained the last few years too… out of season no less. Our monsoon season is winter, so we should get a ton of snow but now we just get rain all the time.
