Default Anyone tried this one before?

I was looking at one of the posts about a DIY cave and came across this one made from a coconut. Anyone try it before? I'm thinking it might look good in my 2.5 tank for my betta. Do like a tropical theme of some sort maybe...lol

Looks wonderful, but for you to sit there carving out, taping, or whatever you have to do to get this isn't so wonderful.

i make those all the time. i posted how to do it a few times. they work good and look cool. all you have to do is split the coconut in half, gut the inside shell, and boil it til it comes out clean, and rinse rinse rinse.
