I have always enjoyed having 15 to 55 gallon aquariums around me with goldfish, frogs, guppies and such in them as it is a great inside environment,
IF you can keep up with the responsibilities of cleaning and maintenance.
I have all my "fish tank" stuff stored away now as It has been many years since my "home" aka fancy cardboard box was climate controlled enough for the proper support of inside aquariums. As I cut back on the heated and cooled areas around the yard I also had to cut back on the aquariums until I had none set up.
So now to the topic.
I have been saving the colored glass from bottles and such for years wanting to build a LARGE rock/glass tumbler out of a old tire from a three wheeled terragator sprayer used on farms. The tire is about 4 feet wide and about the same in height. Pretty much a larger version of the tires on the smaller 3 wheelers of the past.
I have all the parts to make a LARGE tumbler.
Has anyone else tumbled broken glass until you have various sizes of smooth surfaced nuggets and such?
I have been saving broken glass for this project for years. I like the thicker parts. The bottoms of glass containers and such. The old glass beer and root beer mugs are nice as they are mostly thicker glass, but they are mostly clear glass. I also save the broken "milk glass" that is thicker.
Just some of my thoughts on recycling glass. I have always been fascinated with glass. I miss the days of mostly glass containers where we now have throw away plastics mostly.
Almost forgot as I Live in a TIME Capsule of sorts. The under gravel/media filters are best for the sort of critters I like to keep as wet pets.
The power filters are not all they are cracked up to be from experience. They are fine for "cleaner" fish and such, but goldfish are just fancy carp that have friends in low places...
