    Had some time yesterday so i made a rustic styled candle holder for my outdoor table.

    A buddy of mine recently cut down a few trees so i grabbed 2 pieces of wood from him. Used a 38mm wood bit and a drill press.

    Use a flat piece of wood below the wood you are drilling to ensure the wood is level while you drill. Add a few tealight candles and voila!!!

    All wrong dude. Lighting a tank with candles don't work, you keep getting wax in the water and the light is not enough.

    You should have said: insert 3w led and voila :)

    Eish amateurs... :p

    But nice for romantic baths :)

    LMAO. Seems like you have had first hand experience with wax in the water @Vis. I should also mention that making a candle holder out of wood is also not the brightest idea. But it looks cool. Il just stick a label underneath that says "Do not leave unsupervised candles on this holder". That should make it safe

    I found this all pretty amusing too.... are you trying to get the fish to breed with a bit of embience ? :p

    But good job with the candle stands anyway !
