Just why exactly is your tank sitting in the snow?

Culturing some phytoplankton?

could be it!!

she is doing a artic biotope. :eek: :mrgreen:

Steve

I got 2 tanks sitting in the snow in the backyard. Good on ya Christy! :cool:

you guys are pathetic.. get them set up!!!!


Steve

How is the driving ? :eek:

Of course, you do have new contacts now.... :razz:

Heh, heh.. :rolleyes:


Actually it was part of a mosquito breeding facility this summer. We were hoping to get west nile virus so we could stay home from work :razz: Actually its my roommates old tank from when she upgraded to the one that came with the house. Its been sitting out there for a goodly amount of time. I certainly don't think I would use it now. We'll see if it holds water after everything thaws. I wouldn't imagine an expanding iceblock would be good for the silicone :confused:

Mosquito larvae culturing was my next guess. I use to have a wine barrel in my backyard full of larvae that I would scoop up and feed to my fish.

Doesn't that mean more mosquitoes around in the summer?

Christy I am amazed that the tank has not shattered. I personally would speculate that if it hasn't blown out yet, it will be fine if it survives the thaw. Silicone has more elasticity to it than glass. :smile:

Not if I scoop them out before they change into adults. :smile:

Yeah I'm kinda surprised as well, although my roomie just mentioned that its really icy near the tank and not anywhere else. After the snow clears I have a feeling that tank will have some sort of leak apparent.

:cry: I cant bare to look at an empty abandoned tank sittingout with the trash,reminds me of the Ikea commercial with the lamp sitting in the rain :cry:

While recycling some cans tonight, I noticed that I too have several tanks sitting out in the snow. A 5, 10, 20, and a 75g, buried in white stuff... :rolleyes:

I can clean that mess up for ya :wink:

Steve

No doubt, I was looking for a bigger tank for my turtle (found one though, she should be happy in a 4x2' space).

Steve, if you clean the deck, I might just give you the tanks! :razz:

Driving is great! Need more snow. Bring it on!!!
