Help me build this coffee table fish tank, folks! (1 Viewer)

[JohnnyNguyen]

Sup, peeps! I'm chasing this fiyah damsel and would like to impress her by emulating the above tank design. I'm thinking of making a trip to the orange big box store, get large diameter pvc pipes and get to work. I'd like to know how to cut slots in the middle to create openings depicted in the pic? I'd imagine a jig saw but with my hand to eye coordination, i will most likely to bungle this in epic fashion LOL. Cant even properly grab a cup off coffee off my kitchen's counter on the way to the car without spilling 50% of the time. Any got any pointers on how to go about doing this? Anyone wana help a brotha score?

TFR!

If you want to drop off the pvc I could cut it and put it together for you.

Women all they do is take..take..take Key chain it is!
I think imma do the tank for my office @ home. I hate to have it plugged into a socket to power a pump for aeration. Does anyone have a way around this? Perhaps a solar powered mini pump?

They make battery powered air pumps (for power outages) not sure how long they last but that's one way. Hopefully they last a couple days? Still would be a pain to have to replace.

Yup, I thought of fastening a battery powered air pump to the pvc underbelly although replacing fresh batteries every day or so isnt very E-friendly, i’m afraid.




Here’s another option but a bit revolting to look at.

I don’t see a whole lot of detritus or algae in that white pvc tank...
