Help, I need fake water!

Not sure if it's toxic or not but you can try Blue sand

and I know for a fact Lowes has blue plexi

What are you going to have so your fish and inverts can hide when they feel stress?

 

I dunno, how about a beach shack!

 

Humm, You can also silicone surfing dolls and maybe a few grass looking huts..
oh, don't forget the lifeguard stand...lol *this is starting to remind me of xmas of 89 I had a party at my house and we did the tree up with beer cans and a lobster head for the top*


Why do I feel like I want a corona right now...lol

 

LOL, little figurines may be taking it too far. Less is more!

Although I am finding really cool beach hut bird houses... A bit to big at about 3/4 cubic feet but they might just work.

I WILL be making a hammock (somehow) to string between the two palm trees I have for the tank. Haha, I can see it now, the bottom-feeder relaxing in the hammock on the beach... under water!

And thanks for the referral cuttingras! I took a quick look through the thread about bumper stickers and such and saw that you guys are sorta having difficulties with the t-shirts. If that's the case, I can get t-shirts made (through a business I help run).

No screen-printing or iron-on crap either, these would be CAD Cut material that is opaque. Just need a .jif image to vectorize and start the process. We can do any material as well, girls tee's guy's tees, button shirts, hats, keychains, etc. shirts run $8-10, hoodies run $20, hats run $15-$25 (all with the logo)... FYI

Anyways, I'm starting to find some images that would work as backgrounds (with a little editing). Being in a landlocked state, I can't do much with my camera... ;(

Here's a couple to get the idea





Geewiz, this photo would be perfect if it were taken a little bit lower, and WASN'T $750.00 ....

Stock Photography of 'A panoramic view of the Templo del Dios del Viento Mayan ruins of Ruinas de Tulum (Tulum Ruins) in Quintana Roo, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico' - Search Stock Photos, Pictures, Images, and Photo Clipart - 73068250, 73068250.jpg

 

Something like this?

 

Yep, but high resolution for enlargment.

I think I found someone in Florida that's going to take some pictures for me! HA!

 

Or this one?

 

You don't neccessarily have to chop off the top. As long as the photo is taken AT the shoreline (sea level) it's fine.

flickr FTW!!!

I think this is the winner;


It's got beautiful water meeting the beach at the bottom of the photo about 2/3 from one side (exactly like I wanted). It's even got the beach huts on the left, I can make a replica of one of those a little bit bigger and put it right inside the tank with holes to swim through.

Now I just have to enlarge it!

 

Here's a picture to see what I am talking about...
(just imagine the beach hut bigger)





any ideas on what the hammock should be made out of? I don't want it to be flexible though.


(again, thanks for all the help 3reefers!)
