I got the idea from a couple friends I used to have. Their room was filled with fishtanks they put figures in. They hadn't done any real decor in the tanks though. But still a brilliant idea!

We got this one for $75.00 at a thrift store. It's a 55 gallon. Definitely check places like that first. As a display you won't need filters or anything. And some nice janitor strength glass cleaner will do wonders!

The butter legion- a socialist movement/mass colab project I started, to trigger artistic change and evolution in Da artists (mainly my watchers), to make them more active and dedicated on DA. Now 170 people strong and growing... A "dangerous cult"? a "new religion"? "artistic version of fight club" or "communist movement"? You decide!
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

What a brilliant idea to keep the dust off of them (always a dilemma since I have about 20 and those cases are *expensive*)!!
