.spartan Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hey everyone, I was inspired to do this when i visited Paul's aquarium at Oxley... i simply used some Styrofoam balls which cost .59c and some pop rivets along with some fishing line and a heavy sinker. painted with NON-toxic water proof aquarium paint with two coats, different colours and it came out looking somewhat amazing! i was thinking to make it more unique purchase some thin plastic chain from somewhere? what do you reckon? http://imageshack.us/a/img837/89/ctv3.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img580/3370/6vha.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img189/4538/itnl.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img203/4260/wug0.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img850/5576/gxqg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquaholic99 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 You won't need to worry about steel or lead in your tank. I am interested in what paint you used though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
