I'm thinking of building a custom elevated toilet tank that is seperate from my bowl - on a shelf closer to the ceiling. I'd like it to somewhat be an "aquarium within an aquarium" with the inner one strictly for the toilet water being fed by water overflowing its walls from water intering the bottom of the outer one via the toilet tank h2o inlet plumbing. The only way this would be cool is if the outer one is also a fish tank. I figure the influx of new water with every flush ought to be good enough to keep the water clean.
Are there any fish tough enough to live in a steady supply of fresh city water?
We've had a couple of them "ecosystem" deals where there is a fish and a plant above it with the roots in the water, etc - that all lived quite a while with just our tap water. The difference this time is that that tap water was always room temperature and not constantly cooled down by a fresh supply from the city's water lines.
With this thing also serving as the toilet tank, I can't really be removing it all that much for maintainence once it's set up - if it gets set up.
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
