After checking that, and thinking it's really cool, I'll have to look for glass bottles around and to make some cracks on them, I'll file the sharp edges and I'll leave it in the tank ;)

I suggest gloves. The glass is sharp lol. I got my self just a couple of times where I missed sanding.

I'll see how to do the broken holes on, w/o breaking it at all on parts and gluing it back. unfortunately don't have my AK47 here with me, few times I make complete holes on the glass, w/o breaking it completely (probably 1 of 5 shots on 5 fittles will give me 1 which don't break completely)
But now I have to think more how to do it with glass cutters etc, probably will make with the diamond bit hole (like in the fishtank) and later to cut some bits from there, to make it look more naturally, I'll test it 1st with smaller jar. At the end ofc. I'll sand it, as my hands are often in the tank ;)
(If I do use gloves can't keep it by hands secured, it will be more risk for me then, during the process)

Some type of clamps. Sand blasting tape of the shape you want.

don't have sandblaster ..., but with diamond cutting bit and after chopping on it will make it more natural like.
Do you have idea for how long your one catch the coraline on it?
I think to sand the whole glass (to have scratches on it) to be not completely polished, easter to keep some organisms over it. After I prepare it will leave it on front of one of the powerheads to be blasted with water as well (always in the water as we know are small particles and some of them are hard enough to "damage" the glass surface, that's how it usually get some shapes when you find broken glass in the sea, naturally sandblasted :D
And I'll have to dose a bit more Coralline aminos now.

I used mortar mix to add texture. At that point its like rock coraline will attach fairly quickly. I used it for 2 weeks with water from the water changes.

good point.
I just jump minutes ago to the nearest (next door) Paund Stretcher (like $stretcher) and got few very small bottles from there for the testing purposes.

I'll take off all plastics and labels and I'll do it probably the wa I told or can put mortar, but will change the shapes that way..., will think about, and will pst photos when it's done. Will be next few days.
