You do know that cut glass is sharp right?

How bad did you cut it?

Don't give in!!! Cut resistant gloves are cheap. While you at the hardware get a oil stone to sand those sharp edges. Or the better option is find a ruined one for free.

Reckon, I've got my head around it and think it could be a nice tank look.

Me too! My family owns hardware stores and I work at one so I love hearing other peoples ideas and helping them make the dreams happen.

Use those beer bottles .

 

[hippy guy]

I actually was thinking about using one of those, just not cutting or breaking it. Some sand and silicone to keep it sunk down..

What about p.e.t. soft drink bottles? There are a fair number out there with plastic labels. easier and safer to cut than glass. finish with a small flame to get rid of sharp/rough edges.

Like the plastic ones? Is that safe?

Also, id be concerned about melting a plastic, and then adding to the tank. Plastics are wierd when you start melting them

I couldn't confirm absolutely that is safe, although I have seen a bunch of diy stuff on YouTube using plastic drink bottles. I'm working on the theory that if drink makers are allowed to ship food in them they are pretty safe.

I did this on my old 125gl tank, was nice but I began to wonder about how to clean the inside of green crud(course this could work if so inclined), look for silk screened bottles or etched ones, saves the hassle of paper labels
