	When placing foreign objects in an aquarium
bodangit Hobbyist Posts: 97 Kudos: 37 Votes: 10 Registered: 19-Jan-2006	I was thinking of adding a notched overturned flowerpot if I get some Bolivian rams. Would I have to do anything to it to prepare it? I did this with a rock, first I soaked it in a water:bleach mixture twice for 3 hours, then I soaked it overnight in water with tons of dechlorinator. No problems have arisen, the rock has Java Moss rubber banded to it. ________________________________________________ I like Led Zeppelin.

I just rinse my flowerpots and put'em in. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

On the other hand if it has been used or laying around the garden etc dont even think about putting it into a tank, the main reason the pot could contain many nasties. Also if it is a painted pot dont use that either. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
