Maybe putting it outside for a planter or something to do with an outdoor flower bed piece. Maybe paint “flush flowers” 😜
or “flushing out the weeds” I know, cheesy
im drawing a blank there too but outdoor planter in garden comes to mind !?? 🤷♀️
Thank you all. Great ideas. Now I wish I had more tank. One to bury and one to plant. Can't wait for the snow to stop so I can get OUTSIDE.

Hi! I have seen many people upcycle toilet tanks into beautiful flower planters!
Hello Cohassetwoman, you can do an above ground planter planter that will last a long time, or you could try to make a small water feature in your yard with it, bury it bout half way deep, buy a small pond liner and put it into the tank, add water to it and put some rocks, live pond plants and something for the birds to sit on when they want a drink, you will need a small statuary pump to keep the water from going stagnant, post a picture if you decide to go this route. Good luck!

Hi Cohassetwoman. You could break it up and use the porcelain pieces to make a mosaic. Maybe an outside table, bird bath, or something for the garden. I wish you well.

Hi there, here are a few ideas that may inspire you - https://homeguides.sfgate.com/eight-ways-reuse-toilet-79765.html
You could seal it and make a fish tank for the garden. be great for the outdoors. buy a sealant that would block water from escaping https://amzn.to/2TR3c2Y
Oh gee, I guess I missed the gist of the question. I thought you needed ideas for the "tank" portion. My thought was to put it in the garden and plant bamboo in it so the bamboo will remain contained and not spread as it often can, which creates problems.
Many beautiful grasses are invasive, a good use would be to plant some of these grasses in the tank (set into the ground) and grow these grasses. That way all your neighbors will not have to share your your good fortune. They can admire it in your yard.
Put outside and put dirt in tank for flowers - put sand in the toilet part and add a sign saying "Put Your Butt's here!"
