newbie needs help

[beaslbob]

The newbie is me. :xd:

I was thinking of starting my unproven, dangerous, experimental, not for beginners type aquariums.

Does anyone have a very large jar just setting around or about to be tossed? Like a minimum of 1 gallon but hopefully 2-5 gallons?

After all I just a beginner with limited resources who can't afford much.

Make sure you document this unproven, dangerous, experimental, not for beginners type aquarium for us all to see!

Be sure to wear safety glasses.

Only thing I have is plastic buckets, sorry.

I have a one gallon pickle jar right here at my desk that I have used to transport salt water in.

I'll have to check I may have some of those but plastic. I think glass would be better.

 

[JSB]

It's yours if you want it. Let me know.

I just ran across a second one in the garage if you need a sump! :wink:

If you end up buying a large jar of pickles, stick some wire in the ends and plug them in. Would make quite an Independence Day display. The large plastic jars can be found at Costco / Sam's filled with pretzels or cheesy poofs. It is not too late to enter your pickle jar in the Nano in 90 contest.

Hey cool. I can use comercial salts and the like for one and my really really unproven experimental dangerous things for the other.

pm me for details.

I just wanted to thank JSB for his help.

I am now the proud possesor of a 1g tall and a 1g standard.

Which are both currently 'aging' in my garage.

I think you can use an air stone, and a shot glass and build a skimmer for those, and light them with the 1-bulb LED flashlights from Harbor Freight.

That all sounds way beyond this beginner's abilities.

Besides I have other uses for the shot glass. :wink:
