I really wanted to use a wine bottle but that was too large.for some medicines the bottles are tinted (brown) like from beerI'll test that as well, just don't have enough space in my one to place big bottle in.
hmmm, I think can find small wine bottle like the small 150-200ml for some kind of alcoholes like in the hotels. I do believe I saw them in one shop near me.
Firebug....
can be used, but very hard to make only holes, usually if isn't close to the melting point, the crystal structure brake and you will get not only hole etc...
this one can be used as well, but yep, have to reach melting point.
Thats a good idea.

I like it. I used a dremel to sand all the edges. Went coarse than real fine sand paper. Had little bits of glass it my face but in the end smooth.that's what I done so far, hope you don't mind to post few photos more, and after I'll drop link with all of the photos
All of the photos here
now all 3 are in the water flushed from the powerheads, I'll move them down after few days
Glass bottle in reef tank
@Paul B wrote an article about glass bottle in reef. It's really cool. I post a link to it in this thread as well Do a thread!! Here you go I stopped by hobby lobby I'm going to have gsp cover it. I think this is going to be really cool diy project.www.reef2reef.com
@TriggerFinger the cabbage leather is attached to a rock. The rock is sitting on the bottle and rock scape
Thanks. The gsp was the original idea but I couldn't hide the bottle and make it look right. Right now the bottle has a cabbage leather on it
If in a week or 2 the glass don't start to catch coralline alg, I'll cover it with foaming glue and will stick on it small gravel bits like sand and I'll cover most of the parts that way. It's a bit faster instead covering with mortar and waiting again to cure, to wash a bit the mortar (the chemicals in), and easy to model it that way, like with expanding foam. That way I done my PVC tubes, which are covering the clear tubes coming from the undergravel filter.
That will work.

I done it that way, because I test with superglue gel it's ok.., but really too much have to use for that purpose, and during spreading it over the surface it dry out and don't have time to make good bond with the covering material. For smaller surfaces I use super glue gel, and it work perfect, but this..., it's foaming enough, and it's for over 20-30 minutes capable to model it (treat it), at the end you cure it faster with water mist like the superglue...
