How deep do they sit in the tank? Looks like a great idea

 

[joshua_delancey69]

close to 2 inches

can the tadpole escape throw the holes.....

 

[joshua_delancey69]

tadpole is too big it would really have to have some force behind it even when first hatched

How much time/work do all of those mesh containers represent?

 

[joshua_delancey69]

3-4 hours of piddle time i think there are 20 or more of them just hotgluing them takes the time the rest is quick.......

is hot glue safe underwater?

 

[Guest]

I've used hot glue in water a few times with seemingly no ill effects. However, it can come unstuck after a long time under water.

i dont use it until its totally dry and I think it is so hot that it kinda melts the plastic togeather some too

Nice move on the "backup" strainer over the intake, just in case one escapes its enclosure. I also like that you can simply remove the individual tads at the appropriate time by lifting out their basket.

I would have tied the corners with heavy guage fishing line, then siliconed the seams. Let us know how the hot-glue holds up.
