From an old Fish tank to Fossil Display.

Hello All, hope you are having a happy new years.

 

This fish tank had a very high mortality rate when my fish were in it. I lost two beautiful fish to its open space. Yep, they jumped out. I found them a few days later as little crisps. Not nice. That's when I drained it. It sat there for a good while all empty but then when i got my Ammo for Christmas that some of you saw, I needed a place to store it. I managed to cleanly detach the light from the filter's base and then used a velcro strip to reposition it so that the light would provide a cool view on the ammonite. Then I took the filter off, leaving some empty space towards the back. It really only took me forty five minutes, and that's because I had to go to our local CVS for the velcro strips.

Looks great good idea indeed. Did you try your fish fossil in it.

Nice display  , what is the species of the Ammonite? It looks like a big Hildoceras to me.

I like this idea! I have about a dozen empty fish tanks, and lots of green river fish. Hmmmm.

Your ammonite in the fish tank looks awesome! Great idea.

Very fishy that they aren't in the tank....

Very nice looking display.

Great idea. 

Sorry about the fish, though.
