Wanted: Pics of man made aesthetics in your tank.

Ssteve · 09/18/2015, 01:31 PM

Seen some interesting stuff from bottles and cans to plane wreckage. Looking for ideas for my next tank, so please post some pics of interesting man made objects in your tank or others you have come across.

Check PaulB's thread, he has several man made things not often seen in tanks

Just searched it and I didn't see where he posted his tank. Link?

I've got something in the works using pvc with rock glued to it to cover, the basket part has stumped me or I'd be done.

Bottles work well. Ship/plane wreckage no so much because of the scale. Regarding the comment about Paul's tank you can search 40 year old reef or such and you should find the link. Somewhere in there buried is a video he did with regards to aging a wine or adult beverage bottle from bagging, breaking, sanding, then adding some texture/sand to make it look nice.
