Ok, thanks guys!

The problem is, I don't have a lot of space. Plus, I am living with my parents now since I am 14. Therefore, I do not think that they will be happy to have a trash can right in their sun room. I am not so enthusiastic about having a trash can either. Is there a more attractive or smaller...

How does that help with the food problem? Also, how do I make one and what kind of trash can can I use?

Any idea regarding how I can keep a stable water chemistry and ample food supply in my pond?

What is the "plastic pond liner idea"? I am not sure what you are talking about. Also, why wouldn't it work? They are being housed in a 30 gallon container with 20 gallon of water in it and dirt in the rest. It will be sitting right under the sun so I see no difference from that and an actual...

Asian clam's larvae are not parasitic. They reproduce by squirting out little clams, who will fall to the bottom and feed like their parents. Mud is not really an issue because I am going to have 1 foot of my pot to be filled with it for the rice. I am also kind of concerned about water quality...

Hello! I am planning on buying a large pot (probably about 17 inches high and 17 inches in diameter) and seal the bottom to make a mini rice paddie. I plan to fill the pot halfway with dirt and after "]topping it with sand, grow rice in the pot. It will be placed somewhere with more than...

Anyone with new ideas?

The only reason I am doing this with clay is because I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ANY GLASS! I am low on budget because I just got the aquarium so clay is my only option. All the glass shops around here sell glass for 40 dollars a piece that is 24"x19"x1/4" and there are no way I can buy that. Unless...

Any news yet?

Thanks! Appreciate it!

If you are looking for something unique, try freshwater sponges. Go to Science Supplies & Curriculum - STEM - Chemistry and look up freshwater sponges. You can keep them with inverts and fish (personally I wouldn't do fish because it will be a lot of work in a 10 gallon), or you can do 4 african...

Thanks for the link! I don't think that the glaze I have will craze. Could you please send my post to your brother and see if he answer? I'll be really grateful. I want to build the individual slabs and stick them together with silicone after they are fired. I THINK that it will stick, since...

Uh, first of all, what do you mean by "glaze it all over"? Do you mean I have to glaze the inside too? Also, what exactly is "a glaze that doesn't craze"? I am planning to make individual slabs of clay and then connect them with aquarium silicone after they are done firing. Will that work? I...

The thing is, since I am going to use it for a long time, even if the clay doesn't leak at first it could still eventually break under the pressure. I wanted a sump that is safe for life, since I don't want to replace it every year or something. How about 2/3 of an inch thick?

Well, even though it is free if I mess up I will still be screwed because I will have 32 gallon roof water pumped to my floor and a bunch of fish jerky

Wait...... People actually try to KEEP mantis shrimps? LOL! I had a friend that get one as a hitch hiker in his reef and tried taking it out by grabbing him and got a really nasty cut! If you want the mantis I don't think you should handle these guys unless you have to. I agree with the guy...

I was planning to have about half an inch thick clay. I am going to fire them and glaze them on the outside, but I dunno if I have to do the inside as well. Clay is porous so it will be good for the beneficial bacteria that will grow on it, but someone told me that water will seep out of the...

Hello? Any replies? I am new to this forum and really need some answers.

Hello! Since I wanted to make a sump for my 32 gallon goldie tank and I am kind of tight on budget, I thought about making them in clay. I joined a local art club that allow me to use their clay unlimitedly. The idea is that the sump will sit in between the aquarium and the wall, and there...
