Besy Way To Diy A Coconut Shell?

[mic8310]

got me a coconut, which is the best way to break it into half so i can use em for the tank? do i have to boil em or somethin after removing the food part and do i have to take off the stringy bits on the outside of the shell?

Good question. I've always wanted to put a coconut shell my tank.

What do you have to do to it?

Is it not cheaper and easier to buy one ready made, they sell them at charter house aquatics I think on the net. Bowt £2 I think.

its only cheaper if you dont have the tools to make one..

get a coconut and cut it in half, drink the milk and eat the flesh, then drill a hole in it (half a hole can be done with a file too!) then sand of the fibres until its bald

Forgot something, you need to boil it unless you want a golden coloured tank.
