Help, I need fake water!

Ya know, I hate to say it but at first I thought you we're nut's with this idea, but I can't help But to give you karma for at least trying to do it the way you want…

As for the hammock maybe the dollar store might have a strainer you can cut and melt into shape.

Just a thought.

 

doll house furnishings that are plastic................

 

Miscellaneous

 

haha, thanks!



saweeet, LOL

turns out this photo


would be perfect but I blew it up to 18" high x 53" long and printed a few sections of it. The beach huts and areas where the water meets the sand isn't as crisp as I would like since the original image is only 96dpi vertical and horizontal resolution.

I need something more like 300dpi in the original photo to be blown up that big. BUT, believe it or not I found somebody in Florida and Australia that are willing to take photos for me (friends from another forum). LOL, this is becoming a world-wide collaboration......

 

I sincerely hope you post pictures of this project once it's done!

 

oh I will, it'll be a month or so down the road.

 

Heard you contacted my boss

I walked in to see him on 3reef! I was like WTH!

It'll turn out great! The banners we've done so far look amazing

 

:-/ I thought I was contacting you! Welp, we'll see how it goes with this photo...

 

So it's 1AM Pacific Standard, and I just got off the phone with a photographer...

Heavy accent, but I think he can take the photo I need. Tell the boss thanks anyways MDeth!

 

I think you guys and the pet store's fish have convinced me to make this tank into a saltwater paradise. I hope I can pull it off.

On a happier note, I finished my other tank. The weird pentagon shaped one, I have my 1+ year old Oscar in there (anybody know how long they live?) so it's staying a freshwater tank. It's my corner showpiece and don't want it to be high maintenance.

The stand I built turned out better than I thought it would! (first time working with wood...) Now I just need to build a hood!






Here's the tank, semi-set up. It's still a little cloudy, new substrate hasn't settled.


The image in the background is this;


and I carried the "theme" into the tank's floor with matching sand and rock. Fish in Space! LOL, I have yet to find a 'toy planet' that I can drill and fill with a specific amount of water so that it floats about the mid-level of the tank with the fish. But I will eventually.

better pictures to come!
