All three bottles will be ready for mortar tomorrow. My middle son Stefan wanted to help. The big bottle is his.

I'm thinking I'll do this in my aquarium, except I've got 6 feet of territory to cover lol I think I'm going to go to a thrift store with my sisters (they love thrifting) to fond some cool old beer bottles.
God bless!

The thicker the better. The first page I attached Paul's article. Its worth a read even if it's for his sense of humor.

@Mr_Knightley you do I recommend a diy thread. Please tag @Frigus Reef and myself if you do.

I live in the Marshall Islands for all most 2 years and yes all kinds trash on the shores and in the ocean. Thats why when I got the coke bottle I knew one day it would find it's way to the bottom of my tank.
My next tank might get one of Dan Aykroyd's cyrstal skull's, one problem its full of vodka. That might not be one it could do its self vodka dosing?

My mom collects sea glass from the beach. I recently added tons of pieces of various colors including pieces from a bottle. I love the naturally smoothed down pieces as they are less likely to cut my fish.

When I do mine, I'm going to try and find the weirdest bottles I can, so stuff like exotic rum bottles are not off the table.
I just really want it to look... Old. So I'll try to find some old fashioned coke bottles and stuff like that. I don't want to have much of any clear glass, I feel it would take much longer to look settled, so I'll be looking for colored glass (wine bottles and such) as they may look a bit better overall. Colored would also allow fish to hide within them, which is a big plus for me.
Anybody know of some weird looking bottles I should keep an eye out for? I'd like to formulate a list of what to generally get before I go shopping cluelessly lol.

That's what the mortar is going to be for. I thought about mixing coraline in a bottle with the mortar mixWhen I do mine, I'm going to try and find the weirdest bottles I can, so stuff like exotic rum bottles are not off the table.
