pleasant man Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 hey all, i have a large clay pot i want to put in my tank. problem is. when my fish spook and slam into it, the pot will probably slam into the glass (the fish are decent sized) does anybody have any suggestions that might make me sleep a little easier? or am i just being paranoid??? thanks heaps! chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHL Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Mine is semi-buried in the gravel; it's not going anywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleasant man Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 thanks for the reply PHL! unfortunately i'm running an "almost bare" setup - there's not even enough crushed coral to cover the whole of the bottom normally i'd do what you do and there wouldn't be an issue, but in the interests of cleanliness i've tried to keep this tank pretty minimalist cheers chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishie4me Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 hello there mate, if you have rocks, the perhaps use 1 or 2 to use as weigh just inside the post or you can put it just against the corner of the tank so it touches the tank so when the fish spook, it will not make too much noise. just a suggestion hope it helps.

Megalodon Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Ok ill take a stab in the dark. If looks aint much of a issue grab a tube of silicone and run a good thick bead of it around all the edges of the pot. Once done put the pot on all the angles you can think of on a table to check that only the silicone bead will ever touch a flat surface. If you know what i mean.

pleasant man Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 i love it - that's a brilliant idea! much appreciated, Megalodon! chris p.s. you don't s'pose i could do the same thing to the fish to stop them from hurting themselves, do you?
