How about a blender tank! Cool pic. Have you had a look at this thread yet http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f23/weird-aquariums-116679.html#post987134 there are some really funny ones.

That's really interesting - did not know it. I've been trying to get hold of the series that was shown on Nat Geo - so far no luck. If anyone knows, please post. They do have some clips on the website, but apparantly there was a whole series on weird and undiscovered deep sea creatures.

yeah...definitely not practical. Can you imagine maintaining them:mad: Maybe there are some ideas in there though

wow...some really cool ones I've never seen before. I love the first one - they all seem to be interconnected. Very geeky Also love the computer ones - especially the "classic Mac" - might be a bit small though.

Yeah, I agree but I think they live very deep. hence the transparent head. It definitely has a bit of "squid" in it's genes. Sure we will see some of them in aquariums soon:eek:

I saw this on National Geagraphic of the Pacific Barreleye Fish. It's got a transparent head and you can see it's eye balls and brain. It almost looks unreal!!! FIRST PHOTOS: Weird Fish With Transparent Head

Funny thing is on one of the photographs you can see two guys in full scuba gear cleaning it...glad it's not me. One of those tanks that's nice to look at but horrible to own. Definitely a huge attraction for the hotel - especially the fact that you can see it from the rooms. Maybe next time...

I just saw this awesome aquarium that sits in the foyer of the SAS Radisson hotel in Berlin, Germany. Basically, it's a frameless glass cylinder in the atrium of the hotel. All the rooms look out into the atrium and see this giant aquarium tank with an impressive array of fish.

mmm...my problem is not just the apartment or the tools. It's the skill ;) Great to see these tanks though - such a breath of fresh air from what you see at most shops. I suppose that when you build your own tank you put that love into it that you don't get with mass produced products.

COOL! that looks really professional...and big. Certainly has the wow factor.:eek2: I found these guys online custom aquarium gallery in Edmonton Alberta Canada - they build custom tanks mostly for public buildings like libraries and shopping malls. It's a great place to get some ideas. They...

Some brands are only watertight to a certain level - I've had one where water got into it and had to get it replaced. I would just stick to what the instructions tell you and keep to the level indicator.

That's an amazing tank!!! Just love the lights. Well done dude.:eek2:

I think shop owners need to take responsibility and shape up! Talking about small tanks, did you guys see the "iPond" ? It's basically an ipod that was turned into a fish tank! Yes, it's really that small and they do have a fish in there! check it out: Gizmodo - iPond Combines Portable...

Yeah, that's seems to be the general sentiment. Maybe it's because fish can't really show their unhappiness like cats and dogs that people think they can do this. Absolute cruelty if you ask me. I think shops needs to give people as much guidance as possible, but in the end you probably can't do...

I agree. Looks way better than those bland ones you get at the stores. That's abig tank and I think it will be quite spectacular. Very good price, but it probably still needs to add filters, lights and the works - even after that it will be cheaper than even a 60 gallon kit (which is what I've got)

COOL - I like it. Did it really just take a day? Impressive. This will probably take me a month:mad: How big is it and how much did it cost? How much do you think someone will charge to make something similar?

inspiration... If you are thinking of something with wood, then maybe this will inspire: Aqueon » Products » Modern Series Stands & Canopies Have a look around - but I think these are complete kits and you can't just buy the furniture. Still, you can use it as an idea. Could look really cool.

thanks - I don't want to risk killing her fish. It might just steifel all the effort I put into a handmade gift. I am pretty sure what I want and maybe I need to find something similar in plastic or maybe glass. I'll head into china town and have a look around. thanks for your advise

Maybe an acrylic tanks would be safer...no shattering lol The only thing to keep in mind is that the bright light from your tank may interfere with watching TV, but other than that I think it can be cool to have both on the same wall unit

How much space have you got? Is it against a wall or freestanding. If you add the high lid you can incorporate some awesome lighting. I like the more clean stands like those on the RedSea tanks - they are very slick and seamless. Maybe you can use one of them for a stand?

yeah, I was struggling with strips (not nowing what I was doing) until I got the API freshwater kit - great one and highly recomended

I am thining of making a heart shaped ornament that I want to place in my girlfriend's tank for her birthday. I had a look at some clays that are non toxic and that dry naturally after about a week. This might be a long shot, but does anyone know it is safe and or if it will harm her fish? Any...
