Could work, might be a good photo op for tourists to pretend they're walking on water?
It'll be the hottest photo op in town. 
Shrimp, lots and lots of shrimp, and maybe a sucker fish.
I found the number for an aquarium store in Cleveland Park on AltaVista, but I called and asked if they could do 100 million cherry shrimp but the guy said no.
Bummer!
Maybe skip the plants and animals and just crank the heat up to make a mega hot tub
National Memorial Hot Tub, this might be a winner!
damn really going all in on the long and shallow tank trend
It's 618m long and 51m wide.
put a single betta in there
NOW YOU'RE COOKING WITH FUSION!
Omw to PetCo-op.
In aquascaping, it's important to work with negative space!
45cm is not very deep for a fish tank. You should make your fish tank a lot deeper.
If you want to say your fish tank is more splendid than the ones at doctors' offices, you're at least going to have to make it 120 cm deep.
It's about 75cm deep in the middle, does this help?
Also I can't make it deeper because it's in the ground, so I guess it's more of a fish pond than a fish tank?
Bring out your bulldozers and get to work.
You don't want people to have a reason to say your fish tank is "dimensionally challenged", do you?
It's also a "historic monument" or some bullshit so the mayor won't let me do jack shit.
at the shallow ends
You're sitting on a goldmine, and you don't even realize it! So many unique marketing opportunities, just off the top of my head:
- Fill little pendants with the swamp water, and sell it to MAGA hogs with some kind of "9/11 never forget"-style platitude, but with the ~~reflecting pool~~ fish tank in place of the towers (with a smoke cloud-shaped crowd of ANTIFA pouring communist chemicals into the water)
- Do the same thing but fill little donald trump-shaped containers with
drumpf did thisand sell it to liberals (MAGA hogs might also buy this tbh) - Get RFK to say the water has healing properties or some shit, then bottle and sell it
Sorry, I don't know what a MAGA hog is. Is that a breed of swine? Anti fascists are among my primary voting bloc so I don't really have any intention of alienating them, especially given the recent tension with the secessionist so-called "Republic of Texas."
Donald Trump, the stand-up comedian? I watched his new special on Blockbuster@Home, it was... Fine. I don't generally like male comedians, men just aren't funny to me. I did think the part about his diagnosis of dementia was pretty good, reminded me of my grandmother's decline.
RFK died in the 60s, so again, I'm not really sure what you're talking about.
Fill it with gel and turn it into an antquarium
Hear me out. Malaysian snails
Wait holy fuck these are called Melania!?!?!?
I don't get the connection, sorry.
I'm a bit concerned about them accidentally being introduced into natural waterways. Is that a potential problem, DC doesn't get that cold in the winter.
throw some colloidal silver into it
Well what's your filter situation looking like? You got like a sump and pump system going on to keep the water moving right?
A couple years before the revolution, the parks service built a water treatment plant just to feed water into this thing from the Potomac, but it's still just stagnant because they wanted the surface to be still like glass. Ridiculously wasteful, stupid engineering the CPSA inherited when we took control.
Oh I see. And there's no surface turbulence from the wind? I'm sure you could do something low flow or off to the sides that barely anyone will notice. Besides, small disturbances from plumbing will smooth out from a modest distance for pictures or whatever.
Beats algae blooms :' )
