For the diy'ers whit this stuff laying around.. I create little things like this with it.
Small rectangular blocks
Drill a hole in the same size as the glass thicknes..
Saw the marked pieces out and file the sides straight and to the proper size
Make sure it fits the glass
Dril another vertical hole (whatever size i need it for)
Take a fine sandpaper and sand it smooth to get the rough saw marks out a bit. Take a small penn model gass torch and flame polish it. (This also brakes the sharp edges)
And finaly i got this.. Little hang on eye candies at the glass edge..
What do i do with it? Hang all sorts of things to it with a very thin strong piece of fishing line or a small screw. Such as a suitable piece of driftwood to create something with emersed plant growth..
My backlight ledstrip
Even my in tank dropchecker got more functionality like this.
I saw pictures of people trying to achieve the same with steel wire hooks etc. But i thought, this is just that little bit making it more appealing to watch and makes it also more fun to do and triggers even more new ideas for scaping fun..
Just to let you know, don't throw your scrap acrylic away, the smallest piece still can be of use.. 😉 You just might yet not found it's purpose..
