Local dog park pickup ?

[Niki_up]

This past summer I saw a piece of broken concrete at my nearby dog park that I was eyeing all summer as a cave for my pleco tank.
It’s finally made it’s way home and has been installed in the tank.
I love finding cool things at the dog park

You sure a dog didn’t…you know…go on it!

Might keep an eye on my local dog park. Those adult-size clown loach caves I'll need in 20 to 30 years should come from somewhere.

Nah, it was a new piece of concrete that came into the park via the river this year.

it probably broke off of a drainage entrance to the river. Every single year with the flow of the river new things get carried down the river, large rocks and boulders get moved in the process of spring thaws

dog pee on it, yes! Years of dog pee, doubtful ??

I always find pieces of petrified driftwood by the river that I use in my tanks…I’m always collecting rocks for my tanks

New concrete isn't a good idea for use in a tank, but that piece sounds like it has got some mileage on it so you're likely good to go. A bit of algae and diatom growth on it and it will blend in nicely too.

I'm just grateful that this thread wasn't what I first thought...I was picturing some guy with gold chains and a 2-day growth of stubble...

That's nothing compared to the image I had in my head when I first saw the thread title.

In the UK it's law that you have to pick up your dogs mess in a bag and take it home with you to dispose of in the appropriate manner.

I had an image of Niki_up proudly showing us a big bag of dog crap with a big cheesy smile on her face.

I'm so glad it was a piece of old concrete, lol.
