a flat screen fish tank

[kramden66]

I was thinking of making a fish tank out of a flat screen tv , it would be more work then destroying a tv from the past but only one problem... the fish wouldn't have a lot or room

ok just kidding but it was a revenge thought, probably easier to turn a flat screen into a window.

Here is what you do. Go the store and plop down some $$$ for ome that matches the dimensions of your tank, cut a hole in the wall for the tank, build a shelf to support the tank on the back of the wall, tear off the back, rip out those useless busted out of the box PCBs, remove and put your foot through the image display panel, and take your nice gutted flats-creen frame and use it to both hide the cut in the wall and make a beautiful frame for the tank.

I think its a GREAT idea ... but this is the wrong forum ... it should be in the
flat screen one.

You have the backlights of the TV to light the tank ... is that true? You just need
to carefully make a tank out of plate glass and the usual silicone bathtub
sealant.

If you use small fish it will work great.

Where did you get the idea that you would be destroying a flat screen TV? They're pretty much destroyed when first built. Just make sure the tank you frame with the remains of the flat screen isn't made in China as well.
