    Thank you kindly for sharing. If I were doing a marine aquarium, it would be great, but I have a 20 gal. fish tank for my three huge goldfish already so they need something that I can perhaps create myself. I thought of huge water bottles - the kind you get refilled. I would have to cut of the tops, but each one would only be 5 gallong total, and that would not work if I wanted to keep the fish together. I guess I am looking for something larger that could be easy to find and not too difficult to make and you could see through at least one side of it. Thank you for sharing.

    Large plexiglass cylinders as tall as you can a ford and a plexiglass square base. I have the already used a small tank and placed it inside an old tv, or you could use an old computer monitor, the real old ones that were about 12+inches deep and tall.Asmall tank inside

    This is so cool. I do remember now that Plexiglass can be purchased cheaply and in a number of forms. I also really LOVE the idea of using an old computer monitor (maybe a TV monitor would work too?) Anyway, great and different ideas and something that appeals to me as I could paint the monitors very cool as I like to do with different things. Thank you so much!!! Peace and many blessings, Anne

    An old TV would be cool . You can get one cheap at goodwill.

      Yes, just be sure to seal it really well with silicone so it doesn't leak. I prefer the retro look, so I wouldn't paint it, but whatever fits your taste/decor/lifestyle. Have fun with it and please post pictures !
