I'm not sure I can think of any TV that would look good as an aquarium.

Looks like they wasted some PEZ dispensers too.

Hideous and thoughts of basphemy and at risk of being booted off of videiokarma but for those who like turning tvs into aquariums wouldn't a Ct 100 cabinet be ideal? nice and square inside options on masking the front and with a lid that pops up it sure makes feeding the fish a whole lot easier.

Blasphemer !! Heretic !! (grin) You're prolly right, but I'd wager there's so few CT-100 cabinets extant, it wouldn't make any difference.. And I take every opportunity I can to introduce members of The Great Unwashed to be on the lookout for a stray CT-100...Most can't believe they actually HAD Color Television way back in antebellum 1954...Hell, you never know...Someday, one of my "Grasshoppers" might actually stumble across one somewhere...

What natural color that aquarium has. Amazing what they can do with an old 1950's black and white TV, because as we all know, there was no color before around, say, 1961 or so...

(I recently had an aquaintance inform me of the introduction of color television as being around 1961.)

And WHO is that behind the aquarium? The fish feeder?

Oh, I dunno. Being a scuba diver, it might be cool to have sunken TV Set as part of an aquarium. Sort of like a man made reef, with the fish swimming about the tubes, transformers, 'lytics, etc like some shipwreck. Of course, the cad plating wouldn't do 'em much good.

Of course, you'd have to have the TV INSIDE the tank, and that would take a big tank. I used to have a 180 gallon, six foot wide by two foot high salt water tank, built into a wall. I got sick of that after 10 years, ripped it out, blanked over the opening, and put a 50" Pioneer Elite Plasma, with all the Home Theater Electronics hidden behind. I got sick and tired of 100 buck tropical fish kicking the bucket.

Geeeze, that's a pretty strange scenario. I guess I need a cup of tea.:smoke:
