R2-D2 Aquarium

Modeled after the most well-known astromech droid in the galaxy, this R2-D2 holds a 1 3/4 gallon aquarium tank in his central compartment, ideal for a small freshwater family of goldfish, gouramis, or tetras.  The domed head rotates with any vocal command you issue and he utters his familiar "bleeps" from the Star Wars movies.  His radar eye houses the eyepiece to a built-in periscope that provides an intimate view of the aquatic activity below. allowing you to watch your charges swim towards the food you've dropped in from the dome's removable feeding door.  Includes filter and overhead LED tank lights that randomly morph between red, blue, and green (lights can be disabled).  Includes a two sided waterproofed cardboard insert depicting scenes from the movie as a background.  Plugs into AC.  30"H x 16"W x 16"L. (9lbs.)  Available at www.hammacher.com.

First Blog Entry

Here we are, blazin' the trail and heading deeper into the net.  The MSWCC now has a website, myspace page, and Blog.  Why do we need all this web space?  I have no idea, just sounds like fun.  I'm sure that we will find the web site will always be, but what about the others?  For a while, they may all look similar, have the same info, but we'll have to wait and see.  I feel that we are now able to reach more people and grow our club by looking at all the different ways people communicate on the web.  We'll be doing some testing for a while so if you are checking us out, give a a little time to see how it goes.

Thanks for reading.
