answer: Drink another bottle and start over again!

I remember seeing some plans for a fish tank coffee table in high school.

Get a CLEAR punch bowl. THen make a base angled out with some nice wood. THen use some quality leather straps (Check with Terry judging by his new avatar) to go from support to support. This will suspend the bowl. Then use a clear glass top or some Lexan. Dont use plexi...

humm i like this idea! this will be my next idea once the bottle doesnt work haha.

now are you guys serious about saying a tetras will live at room temperature water cause if they do I’m going to get one or two of them.

And if i were to put blue rocks at the bottom of the bottle and get a black light it wouldn’t look cool because the blue lights won’t light up. Do you think it would be worth it for me just to mix blue and white rocks at the bottom so it will glow, all white rocks, or just put all blue with a blue light?

UPDATE: well my new calk is really kicking ass but the only problem is that it is constantly moist! I didn’t read that part. I’m going to go and get some aquarium calk and that will work for sure!

UPDATE#2: ok i got this aquarium calk and it is really kicking some ass. i have to wait 2 days till i can put the rocks and whatnot in it i just gotta let the water run. i'll post a picture in 2 days when its all set up without the fish :)

this is before i put in anything

set up before the rocks are in it

i used ALOT of the glue

front view of the bottle

side view of the bottle... as you can see the tube sticking out OK! the water isnt that cloudy i think the light messed up the water

i cant get a good shot of this... the light reflects like crazy!

sorry about the pictures being so HUGE! i gotta fix that.. i'll update everything once i get the fish and blue light in there...(i still might get diffrent rocks so they are all the same deep color blue... i will have to see

thats the finished result :) i went with orange fancy guppies... the lady at the pet store made sure i had a filter (which obviously i dont) so i hope i dont have a problem... i have a feeling i'm going to have to change the water on this more than once a week. we will see.
