USB Mini Desktop Aquarium – Using a PC is sometimes not the most calming of experiences. So why not bring a little peace and tranquility to your digital life with this mini desktop aquarium!?

I love this type gadget, and for the last few months it has kept me company at my desk. It is pretty neat to watch and is in a way soothing. I had one and its motor burned out. I got a second on, and for the last few months it has been running fine, but again, the motor burned out. I guesstimate the first one lasted about 300 hours and the second one lasted about 375 hours. I am unsure if I want to get a third. I am thinking of getting one and trying to run it 24/7 to see if this one burns out too after 300-400 hours. It is not like I abused it, nor was it running all the time, but I am disappointed in its quality.
