happy Friday everyone!!!

@Frigus Reef I've collected a couple bottles to litter my tank too. I remember the thread, did you actually bust up any bottles for your tank?
Yeeeaaahhhh I did!!! Put them in a paper poke and lightly hit them with a hammer, I found a ball peen hammer worked best. Be very gentle and be patient, keep hitting a little bit harder every time and eventually it’ll break. Then glue them back together with superglue and after it dries sand down the sharp edges with a dremel so it doesn’t hurt any fish. I blew some concrete powder all over it and that made it look even older. After that you can add Reef mortar and rock to it. I soaked mine in high salinity saltwater for a few days just to make sure nothing bad was on it. I’ll send you the thread and you can post pictures if you complete it :)

Glad to have you and your pics back :D

Thanks, the incident between fishboy and me has been explained on my journal, it was all my fault for having a very short fuse on a crap day, only in this regard he was the recipient of the crap end of the stick, I'm sure everything he has coming is his fault!
Checkin please @fishguy242 re fumes?

Moose is such a handsome guy! He really has the profile of my ole girl who was a French mastiff.

You knew I would interject at some point, I see the idea but would never do this in my tank!

... unless it was a broken rum bottle! ;)
Today it's going to be sanded and mortar added. It's a must to sand. Safety glasses is also need or me be on oprah with glass in the eyes. @BZOFIQ will be watching because he likes oprah.
So the oprah stuff still exists. This is where I really meet some of you.

I forgot about the Oprah guy!! Lololol!! I even got in on that one! I was offended because I’ve liked the idea since I read about it in Pauls book a couple years ago! I didn’t see the last couple pages of that thread though. Love your bottles!! How do they look now? Does your wrasse still go in it?! You put the leather ON it?? How?!
