DIY Inexpensive FishTank

how its made.

things you need are.

1. foam box (these kinda boxes are used by shops to deliver vegetables & things)

2. A sheet of glass (what i used here is 4mm thick glass)

3. silicon bottle

4. Metal Ruler

5. Knife Cutter

6. Background poster ( i bought 4 feet)

7. Black Sticker rubber paper.

A. keep the glass sheet on the box and marked the size & i left 1 inch from both sides. Cut out the portion using the cutter.

B. Put Silicon on the sides and keep the Glass sheet accurately. Use a weight to press the glass sheet and let it dry.

C. Now what u need is the background poster. cut it to the size of the box then past it using silicon glue. Remove the access glue on the glass using the cutter. BE CAREFUL While going this.

D. now let it dry. u have the container ready now. now to decorate the outside. I used back Sticker paper which is rubber so its fine with me if it gets wet. these kinda paper is used to make sign boards. Cut the paper and past it neately.

THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS WHEN ITS FINISHED.

Now its time for me to add the gravel, plants and fishes.Btw i used an under gravel filter in this one.

NOW lets see how much i had to spend for this.
