aer0 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 i'd image with that you could get away with thinner glass and low standard lighting though and your water changes would be never Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reuben.a Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 :facepalm: i really cant see why they bothered to do that in the first place??? i mean theres really no comparison to a full blown reef tank. nothing to look at :yawnn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 If I was going fake, I think I'd much prefer the fake stuff from TV shows like Tanked than this one. Wouldn't be much fun to watch when nothing moves though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 :facepalm: i really cant see why they bothered to do that in the first place??? i mean theres really no comparison to a full blown reef tank. nothing to look at :yawnn: The Crochet Coral Reef (CCR) is a project by the Institute For Figuring, a non-profit Los-Angeles based organization that pioneers creative new methods for engaging the public about scientific and environmental issues by putting people and communities at the core. I would suspect that this statement is the drive behind it and the tank is mearly a byproduct of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 correct, one of the original tanks was completely made out of Yarn made from plastic collected out of the ocean. it is also part of community based projects for the disabled. and if the end result is someone going out and getting a real tank, then :thup: in my mind.

Sophia Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I accidentally made woollen seaweed when teaching myself to crochet a few years ago. Or should I say 'tried to teach myself'. I didn't progress to making straight lines as seaweed was far more interesting and according to my husband, I don't think in straight lines. In the end the only person who liked my crocheted items was the cat, he liked to chew them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
