Okay I just skimmed the article and followed the pics but THEY TURNED AN ALMOST 100 YEAR OLD PIANO INTO A FISH TANK!!!!

What's wrong with these people!



Sorry, cool idea but not with that old of a piano ...the writing desk would have been a better idea

That is pretty messed up though.

Id rather recondition the piano and have the aquarium somewhere else, that looks terrible

A grand piano made from glass and full of fish would be cool though. You could have a nice open top for viewing the fish. Very Liberace.

I dont even like the idea of a coffee table made from fishtanks, id keep accidentally kicking it.

For those that havent seen them..

Original but I agree with the others. It's an antique O.o shouldn't have been destroyed like that O.o

Especially since the tank isn't even nicely aquascaped. Now if it where an Amano in there or something it would be slightly different.

I'd like to build my own aquarium coffee table but I'd have it large wide and flat and I'd keep an axo in it.

Not exactly the same as a coffee table fishtank but I was considering putting the pond under my glass dining room table since my floorspace is limited.

Kinda glad I didnt, especially since I discovered that it's not a good idea to use a glass table as a step stool while painting your ceiling blue .

thats cool, but i agree with the others, i wouldnt destroy a old piano for it, now heres an idea, take a toilet and remove the back and replace it with a tank, and use the old lid top as a hood, and plumb it to a sump in the toilet bowl
i think there would definatly be the need to put a lock on the sump though, so nobody thinks its a working toilet and...yeah, that wouldnt be good, it would be a cool, but very odd peice of furnature in a house.

its me sk8freak20...i need to get premie so i can change my name back

Nice idea on the piano... but yea, no need to destroy an antique piano for it... tho the d00d didn't know it was an antique until he had it ripped apart

The tank/toilet's already been done, sk9... you can order 'em online
