check out my new invention... its a coffee table, yep, sounds boring, but its a fish tank too. All glass except timber base.

the light is underneath the tank, still have to make a glass recatangle to prevent the rocks covering it. Ill post more pics when its full with fish in it etc.

Looks great, can't wait to see it lit up, now you'll have to make one for all the guys who love fishing so they can do it from the comfort of their lounge while watching TV AND within reach of a beer (or beverage of choice) loaded fridge

all up, not including filters, pumps, rocks etc probbaly about $300...

tank was 160, base cost around 100 2 make and 40 for the light. so we're not doing too bad...

I agree that the fish tank table looks nice, however the BEST coffee table EVER is the SPACE INVADER table.
