Replacing a Fish Tank With Something Slippery?
Posted by Sam on June 17, 2009
I have this very large entry hall in my home, and when it was built we had a special outlet put right on the curve of the curved staircase so that we could plug in a large saltwater fish tank. That thing was a big fat pain, and I’m glad it went with the ex when we divorced.
But now I have this big empty space. I thought about putting a big fake plant there, but I’m debating whether to get a water wall fountain instead. You know, one of those indoor fountains that sits pretty flat against the wall and runs water straight down the wall of itself instead of spurting out a little spigot.
Has anyone had one of these in their home? Does it spray - even a little? Because it would sit right on the tile and the slightest bit of water might cause someone to slip. I’ve seen these wall water fountains in restaurants and hotels and stuff, but never in a smallish (well, larger than most) entryway. You can look at the St. Augustine model of Village Homes to see what I mean. Would I have to put a mat under it, just in case? I kind of hate to; I think it would take away from the Mediterranean look I’m after.
