Hey guys, I have noticed that some of you have half plant pots in ya tanks, are they just plain ceramic pots?

I use terra-cotta pots, bunnings sell them
Cheap

Cool I will check it out, haha I probaly posted this in the wrong section

Do you reckon if it's got a glaze on it, it will be ok?

[Sarah Jayne]

Haha photography section, way off, nice

I have no personal experience with glazed pots in aquariums. Just be careful I have read somewhere that they may contain traces of lead in the glaze.

i have used both the glazed and non glazed and prefer the non glazed as they tend to get a nice green algae covering after a while and is a pretty much endless supply of food for my BNs so cannot really complain with free food haha

The glazed pots are sweet, I used one for my octopus, I like the terra-cotta for the natural look though

Nice one! I have a bunch of pots here you can have along with some dead coral pieces, your more than welcome to them when your down this way.
