This tank was done on a budget and I've never liked the stand= aqua One. Problem I could see was that this would easily warp if it absorbed water.
Anyway I'm on leave at the moment so did this yesterday using some of my old tiles that I keep ( I used to do a lot of mosaicing-can't do it so much anymore as hands hurt these days so would not be good at cutting the little pieces anymore)
Still needs finishing off but will hopefully do the trick. Have a large one outside x a few years using the same technique that the tiles have not fallen off and that has not warped.
Now to work out what to cover the opening with to hide all the crap that I store there and the wires- have got a pretty good idea of what I will do though
it actually does not detract from the tank at all- it seems to enhance it because of all the colours
(Problem is that now my hubby wants me to mosaic the freshwater tank stand too!)
