is a golf ball fine to use in tank?

[DarthMaul]

Not a used one. I am a golfer and i know a used one even washed with steaming hot water would still be a no no haha. But would be a brand new out of the package ball be ok? I am on a budget and i really gotta stop spending money on fish haha. So i am trying to use things around the house.

Lol I need to stop spending money on fish too. I've spent sooo much it's ridiculous, but I love them. :) I would imagine that it would be fine if it's a brand new one. I'd just let it soak in some water over night just to make sure that the color pigment wouldn't bleed through.

Golfs balls do water log over a period of time. An over night test would not show any results haha. Guess the golf ball idea is fired haha

[BettaxFishxCrazy]

Oh ok, than I guess it'd be fine.lol I know nothing about golf, but I figured it would have to be fine in water because I've seen people playing in the rain.

[DarthMaul]

They are, but over a long time the water ruins it, so i guess it would be bad for the tank. I wish i has some things to use around the house, but i dont =[ I would try the coffee mug thing but it would crowd the tank i feel

i know soap is taboo for cleaning, but what about using a small plastic tupperware container that has been washed with soap in the past?

[DarthMaul]

well is it? or anything for that matter

[BettaxFishxCrazy]

I've heard that vinegar and water mixture cleans things nicely but I'm not sure the percentage for each. You can also use bleach and water mixture.

[DarthMaul]

wait what? lol you mean to tell me you can use a mixture of BLEACH and water, but soap is not allowed? that really makes no sense. This one is going to need explained lol

[BettaxFishxCrazy]

Yup, some people use bleach. I think they use more water than bleach so it's pretty watered down. I have no idea how it works, I've never done it so someone else will have to explain.lol
