sea glass?

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

my mom bought sea glass from the Christmas tree shop a few days ago could i keep some in my tank?

 

[0o.Kelsey.o0]

No idea, what is it suppose to be used for originally??

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

decorative item i think a blue or green piece would look nice. i mean its glass and our tanks are made outa glass

Those edges look kinda sharp, so I wouldn't recommend it. Fish might injure themselves. If you want to use it, I'd grind down the edges til they were smooth first.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

the smooth to the touch il sand em down mabye you think it'd look good

 

[Rosenweiss]

Yeah, I think it'd look awesome if you did that. =]

when i get coral you think its possible i could get one to attach to iit

 

[Rosenweiss]

Ohhhh....sorry... I totally didn't see that this thread was in SW so I was thinking of a FW aquarium... I don't know if those would work for SW...so sorry. I would wait until an expert chimes in.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

lol no harm done. glass is glass after all right?

 

[Rosenweiss]

I would think so, but I guess it's better safe than sorry.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

yeah il wait for someone to chime in

I think they should be fine, you could place them in some water and see if they leach anything into it to be sure.

Glass should be neutral in saltwater. Corals like Xenia do fine adhered to the tanks glass, so don't see why it wouldn't on the raw glass you showed.

thanks hopefully when this is all goin good il be able to attach some coral to it

I had sea glass in mine that i gathered from Dominica (very neat black sand beach) it was very smooth, but I ended up taking it out. I had put them in the tank along with other items from the beach. I ended up taking them out, no proof there was a problem, but I had a lot of hair algae that I couldn't pin point the source. No glass in the tank now, and no hair algae either. *shrugs* could be coincedence, but I won't put any in again.

GSP would attach itself to that as well if you found nothing wrong with it chemically
