evilknieval69 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 before i start... WARNING... this is a guide only, i have used dangerous-ish power tools in this and not everybody can do it. i take no responsibility for any injurys because of this post....hehe thanks, just dont wana get into any trouble ok i bought 4 different sized terracotta pots not long ago and i have made them all differently. i have put holes/doors in 3 and nothing in one. i will run you through what i did with pics. i used an angle grinder to do some of these holes. this hole i made by making a small cut-out on the bottom making a door... this one was made by using the angle grinder and cutting the top out this one was just sat into the tank sideways and this one, my favourite , was made by (accidently) dropping it onto the ground, hitting my foot first just a few different ideas for making doors in pots feel free to add your own pics of what you have done with your pots for your fishys... take care **EVIL** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 ok here's how i did my one. firstly i started by scratching a little bit out so it made a little hole through the side. Next i used my stepfathers dremell and slowly made the circular shape. finished product: please excuse the algae :lol: .... kribs love this pot though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanuts Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I go for the natural look - go to the warehouse and look for already broken pots - can find some unusal "doors" and you can discuss the price depending on how many doors/holes in the pot. sorry have got a pict to put up, but I have siliconed my and then stuck sand over them - means the java moss sticks to it easier and it blends in with the driftwood and gravel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
