Are there any precautions to take before putting a clay pot in the aquatium? i have seen tons of ppl with them so i know it can be done.
 
i cant believe that no one even looked at this.....what happened to all the help?
 
I have 2 - 24 inch pots and a 16 inch pot in my 180 gallon. All i did was soak them overnight in cold water.....they have been in there for about 9 months with no problems
 
I have clay pots in my tank and I just washed them first and put them in. I read in other forums that it might be a good idea to boil them first if they were used as planters since chemicals such as pesticide and fertilizers could have leached in them.
 
Im off to the garden store!
 
I bought mine new and just gave them a quick rinse. never had a problem with them. :thumbsup:
 
Would my bullhead appreciate one of these as a home? He loves to hide under rocks during the day.
 
clay pots are good stuff. As close to 'ornamental' as I'm gonna get.
