	Space tank
Puggle Enthusiast Posts: 224 Kudos: 133 Votes: 0 Registered: 19-Feb-2004	I wanted a space themed tank for ages, and I finally found all the bits I need http://geocities.com/virtualpuggle/tanks.htm It still needs a bit of work. The teracotta pot and plastic plant don't look very spacey, but I left them in there for the betta. I'm not quite sure what to replace them with. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated Last edited by Callatya at 01-Nov-2004 01:48

If you want to keep some sort of hidey-place for the betta maybe a piece of PVC would fit the theme. Don't they usually plant a flag when they land on the moon or wherever? Perhaps you could find one that would fit the tank, would have to be glass or plastic though. Keep us posted, these kind of tanks are fun.

Yep Callatya, it's the "hologrammy layer" that will break off, I just spend an hour or so on a day off cleaning my kitchen window sill that I'd decorated with a layer of dead CD's to go under the plant pots, lets just say CD's don't do well when mixed with UV and H20 ....the plain plastic spacers that are used in the bottom and top of a spindle as buffer should work fine though...some of them have the data film on them though...guess it depends on the brand. ^_^ [link=H2g2]http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/upgrade.html" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link] 2005 Don't Leave Home Without it[/font]
