I have live sand in all 3 DTs. I need to provide some "variety" for a few fish and so I've gotten some fine sand that is for SW and made a few piles of it. They like it.
But I would like to add 2 other things but I'm not sure if it's ok.
1. I bought a canister of shell pieces. It appears to be mostly mother of pearl with a few tiny snail shells. It's typically used for betta tanks, because it's pretty. I thought a few piles of it might be nice for the jawfish to use in their builds.
2. There's the small tumbled natural rocks that are often used in freshwater tanks. I have some from a fw tank I had years ago and I have some that at one time was used in a planter. It's all the same stuff. Okay, I probably close to 10 pounds of the stuff, but don't judge. What do you think? Is that something I can give the jawfish to use? Seems like it would be a nice size for them to putter with if they want. It's not like freshwater type sand and release silica is it?
I'm always looking for the odd thing that other people may not typically use in their salt tanks. I can take pics of each if necessary.
OH YEA! One other thing, I'm a potter. Is it okay if I were to make things to put in my aquariums. Of course, I'd be sure to use glazes that don't leech and are food safe. Should I use porcelain or stoneware? Would it matter?
Thanks!
