So i was thinking of unique things to put in the tank.....and i worry that lots of things are not safe.....for instance iron city beer came out with aluminum cans.....i was thinking those but oxidation could get ugly......so let me know if anyoone has ever done this.....i was thinking of putting empty booze bottles in the bottom of the tank.....now if these are cleaned very well, do we think they would hurt anything????

no, this wont hurt the fish (Bottle), i have 2 in there. piece of advice; use hot water and scrub the lable off really good. seccond piece of advice; put the bottle underwater with the lid off untill it fills up totally then screw the lid on. it would be a bad idea to leave the lid off because theres no current going into it and hte water will beome distilled.
