    Paul dives by New York and he collects things he finds (including bottles with critters in them). I don't care for it but it's his tank, not mine.

    My wife has this terra cotta pot in her tank. This is an old pic, so things have encrusted and changed a lot.

    That's neat. You should take another picture for a before and after.

    We just used unglazed terra cotta with no special treatment. I think as long as its unglazed its alright. We've had it in the tank for 2 years now with zoas, rics, and fish doing just fine in there with it. We did not cure it. I'll try to post a build thread for her tank too to give folks the after shots so I can stop hijacking this thread on actually old tanks :)
