Anyone ever put a photo inside a tank? What I have in mind is almost like a picture frame with the frame part looking like live rock to blend with the aqua scape with a photo inside it. My older brother recently lost his life and has always helped me building stuff. He had a huge part in helping me finish out my basement where I am now building a massive 300 gallon+ system. The pic in the tank would be one final touch that would always remind me that my brother is still with me while I continue to work on my system. Any info anyone has on accomplishing something like this is greatly appreciated.

If I recall right I have seen pictures etched into ceramic (possibly via laser).

I would think another way would be screen printing onto ceramic then fired and clear glazed.


Edit

Look at PhotosOnGlass . Com

It looks like they may have a method

You could also put the photo between two panes of glass and silicone them together. Would be water tight and you don't risk any unknown inks/chemicals in the tank.

Another option is to build an illuminated shadow box behind the tank. There's a thread on RC about it, but the site has been down for a good part of the day and I can't look for it.
