I don't get it. Lol.

Is there an opening somewhere in it?
 
that white cap thing screws off
 
My guess would be a salt water trickle filter?
 
Maybe its an atomic reactor chamber that powers Triangle shaped UFO's?

Or maybe this

I just entered the name on the side of the tank :p

can i put fish in it?

technically yes..but I wouldnt..
it would make a lousy aquarium..
because there is no where to hang a filter, and wires for a heater would have to run through the hole in the top..
also, cleaning it would be almost impossible, without dumping out the whole tank.

it would make an ok short term hospital or quarantine tank..
an air hose for a sponge filter could go through the hole in the top,
no gravel, and you could just dangle a heater down through the hole as well..

but for a regular, long-term aquarium..its really no good..
it would be very inconveient, and probably not very healthy for the fish..

its actually NOT an aquarium..its not meant to be one..
its designed to replenish water in an actual aquarium..
its not well equipped to actually hold fish.

Sell it on eBay.

Or use it to keep your water trays topped off.

I believe it has something to do with saltwater and filtration

Wow, this is more fun than the guessing game ;P :D

pretty sure its part of a sump like we use in our Marine Biology lab which is basically a giant filter....read up about it and figure out for sure....
 
  • #19
umm..we figured it out a month and a half ago!
no mystery..no guessing game..
no real need to revive this dead thread..
