I have one of the that I don’t use for brewing anymore

The anxiety of both my hobbies breaking combined into one.

I’d put it on a different table. That’s 40lb of water.
Scrubtimus
So cool! Are they putting any snails, scuds, or other tiny critters in there or are they more of a plant enjoyer?
HarmNHammer
Only problem is maintenance. They do sell wider mouth ones that I used for my shrimp colony

Man, make sure you are VERY careful using this. It looks great, but I personally wouldn’t use these glass carboys without knowing the country of origin or history of the bottle.
Did you look it over for any flaws? Even a tiny scratch on the bottom with some of these can lead to complete failure. The risk of a catastrophic bleeding injury from shattering is very real. Research how to move these when full, and find a better place to keep it.
Home brewer here, and I only use plastic carboys now.
DoodleBirdTerrariums
Wow very cool!!

Look up “carboy injury” if you have the stomach. As others have said, these can cut you to the bone in an instant if you’re not careful.

Those were used years ago for delivery of spring water. I had a neighbor who did delivery. He said you would rest them on your shoulders to carry it. The worst part was delivery in winter when people wouldn’t shovel……

Everyone talking about the bottle, look at the ridges and structure. You are overreacting and are honestly going off for no reason.
This is quality and just fine, that’s thick glass with reinforcements.

This boy has made me so fucking jealous you should ground him.
Tell him that this thing is just too awesome. It’s gotta be grounds for punishment somehow.

It’s a carboy. The round ones are awesome.

I would get it off that fragile glass table as soon as possible that’s got at least a year maybe a few months tops

That beats the hell out of a bong. My son would definitely make a bong You wouldn’t believe what he can make into a bong.

Wow!!!

Looks cool. How will he clean the glass though? I’d drop the water level slightly too, to give more surface area.

I would drop the water level so there is more surface area for an oxygen exchange.

That’s a very cool vessel. I would be making hella kombucha in it, or perhaps some mead.

That’s really pretty! How would you clean it?

ParanormalPagan
That’s cool!!

Probably coulda brewed a bunch of hooch in there… opportunity lost

I have this with wide mouth and have mystery snails and 3 endlers guppies. I have run this tank for years.

Is that a Betta at the top and a neon Tetra middle right?

Carboys are very cool. Often used by brewers.
