You can see that bottle I made last week here just to the right of the center. If you click on it you can enlarge it.

Could you take a close up picture of the chain and anchor. I couldn't make it out since the coraline has built up so much

 

[Paul B]

There is no anchor in there and the chain in in post #10.
I want to build an anchor, but I didn't do it yet.

I have a top off an old Carribean rum bottle that makes it's way back and forth between my tank and sump for years; this is another one of your kewl diys!

After reading this I found an old dust collector on our shelf and modified it. Funny, my wife was like it's beautiful why? I showed her the 1/4" of dust on it and case settled. Kids liked it...

I am neither, I am a male model and I stand around in my suit looking at my watch.

You can see that bottle here, to the right of the copperband.

Paul after seeing the bottles In your tanks I thought that Is a great Idea. So after receiving a bottle of Mer Soleil Silver Chardonnay, and enjoying every last drop I thought this bottle would look good in my tank a it is a ceramic bottle. I am in the progress of setting up a 220g and will incorporate this bottle in the live rock. Now should I put it in whole or should I break it or Dremmel a hole out of it? Wat does everyone think?

 

[Paul B]

I would put it in a paper bag and hit it with a hammar to break it as I have explained. Just putting a bottle in your tank, looks like, well, you just put a bottle in your tank. If you want to do it, do it so it looks like it has been in there for a hundred years.
Like this one does.
