Does the whole world have "Hard Rubbish" or just Australia

Yeah, that all seemed like too much trouble for me, though. Also, you would still run into problems because the lighting and filters would still have to be on top.
ChadTower:

Hrm.  A console TV usually has a 2-3" wooden frame area above the CRT.  Bigger than a plastic framed TV.  You could fit a low profile fluorescent in there but if I were really doing it custom I'd be more inclined to use a series of strategically placed LEDs.  Maybe with a color sequence.  Get a filter that sits in the tank.
diverdown:
you still need to get your arm into the tank from above. In my case to remove dead fish cos it sure wasnt for cleaning.

The dvd is a great idea.  i did build a custom tank, was being lazy with my explanation above. i cut a rectangular hole in the top to allow a flouro lightbox to sit on top. It was black and sort of was not seen when eyes were drawn to the fish.

The rocks idea is a great one too.  Could you mix the rocks in resin or even glue/pva glue and then pop em back in place so the rugrats cant piff em around?

it got so that when i was living with my sister and a housemate, between recycling and having a compost bin we didnt have enough rubbish to throw out every week! so we would often wheel out a quarter to half full wheelie bin every fortnight with our overflowing recycle bin. funny because the guy we bought the house from didnt care much about recycling and had given that bin to the shop owners across the road. they werent really happy when we asked for it back (",)

ill have to look out for old tvs the next time they do a 'hard rubbish' day (didnt know it was called that). can make me a nice 21" 'arcade' job with a chassis...

The sad bit is municiple recycling is generally counter-productive. After watching the Penn & Teller ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- on it, the only thing I recycle anymore is my aluminium cans-for the most part, anything else pretty much is just to make people feel better about themselves-the environmental damage and financial cost makes it a losing proposition in the long run.

He also mentioned that when he went away to college his mom threw it away. I am not sure if he laid a beating on her or not.  :dunno
