RE-THINK-RE-USE: How I "composted" my leaking fish tank

When my old fish tank started to leak I was at a bit of a crossroads. It isn't recycleable here in Seattle (suprizingly). There were a couple options (for the environmentalist that I am): give it away on craigslist OR do something else with it. Well..........I have a clear glass coffeetable and the 10 gallon aquarium fit just perfect under it. I decided to create a living table ..........I filled the tank with stones I had collected and a couple of terracotta pots filled with plants that I had rescued.   With glass on three sides, a piece of 'junk' became a lovely terrarium.
