Glass blocks/lumps

[medicineman]

Help please!

I'm trying to obtain some glass lumps for my aquarium, need around 50-75kg of them.

They look like this and are apparently a waste product of glass production.



Anyone any idea where to obtain some from?

Thanks!

And what do the fish think, have you asked them?

Fish only have a 30 second memory so they are think this is new

you never know your look


just to add the was for the misspelling of luck as a glass joke not sarcasm for not phoning the manufacturer

voyds9, thanks for the link but I've tried 2 manufactures so far and having spent the best part of 2 hours on the phone been passed from dept to dept I thought I'd try the collective intelligence of the PH massive.

Might give these guys a call, do you know anything about them?

I am in the trade, will ask colleagues tomorrow and call the Pilkington rep too, watch this space.

A lot of aquarium shops have it anyhow, or dont you want to pay retail?

Have just texted a mate who works in a glass bottle manufactring place.

Waits by phone............

not true. fish can remember things for up to six weeks.

and, they can remember things for up to six weeks.

wait...what was i saying?

oh yes, thats it. the best cheese comes from italy.

The 30 second (or was it 7) was just something promoted by fair ground prize givvers to justify their cruel treatment of goldfish.

Brightest fish I kept were Oscars, monster beasties who definatly remembered things and yu could train them to do a few things too.

[nervous]

they did this on Mythbusters.

About four weeks according to this months issue of Focus. Apparently they can learn to recognise patterns and routes.

I won't diss them again.

Goldfish are smarter than trout apparently

Dunno about goldfish, but our Koi and Golden Orf (sp?) remember when feeding time is by knocking on the side of the pond. They all come up for food when you knock. Pavlov and all that.

When I worked for these guys (about fifteen years ago), all the production was done in France and the UK outfit just did sales and administration. So unless things have changed since then, they aren't much good for what you want.
