    Lets see who can make the best tank out of a fairly common household item!
    Stipulations; it has to be, functional, humane and contain at least one aquatic critter!
    The contest will end November 30th.
    The prize will be some plecocane and a nifty signature that you get till the end of the next contest!

    I have the plecocane a one pound package of assorted fish food and must be picked up by the winner at a AFA meeting.
    That is if anyone should feel so bold as to compete against me. (and yes I'm already trash talking)

    I just want to caution everyone to wear a helmet before looking at my creation because "it will blow your mind" and nobody wants to clean up that mess, lol.

    No, don't use hot glue. I don't think it will hold water very long. You can get GE 100% Silicon Type 1 from Wal-Mart (make sure it's 100% and type 1, The Home Depot also sells a silicon that it's aquarium safe in the paints dept.

    It's safe but as Chris said it does not hold long in water.
