OK I have a Empty Segrams 7 Gallon bottle, an think it might make a nice Hiding spot for small/mid sized fish. I stripped the label off an cleaned it up. However I dont know anyway to cut it (well aside from just breaking it). Anyone have any Ideas? :confused:
 
If you dont have a glass cutter, maybe a dremmel with a cutoff wheel? make sure you wear a mask when doing that cause it would get dusty and it may fly apart.
 
Hmmmmmmm that could work, an Im rather good with the Dremel.

I think bottles look good as decor....thats why I went out and got a fifth of Tanqueray. Ok.....it wasnt the ONLY reason:)

that actually looks very cool!
 
Leave one full and put it in the piranha tank.

Most craft shops sell a cheap bottle cutter on a pivot that works well with round or oval bottles. A very hot wire and cold water sometimes work but when I try it I break most of them. remember to sand the edges after cutting the bottle.

I had done this once with a Bud bottle for a chaca chaca cat years ago an just broke the bottom off the bottle, then sanded the edges, I didnt wanna chance screwing this on up since I only have 1 of these.
