Styrofoam In A Tank - Good or Bad? Scott 04-03-2005

I recently purchased a feeding ring for my goldfish tank. The red-cap
orandas seem to have a hard time getting the Hikari pellets, so I figured I
would help them out by centralizing the pellets in one location.

Anyways, the feeding ring uses Styrofoam to float (the actual ring is hard
plastic with an inner ring (which is open and touches the water) made of
Styrofoam.

Is Styrofoam safe to have in the tank? Are there any true risks?

Please let me know -


Thanks,

Scott

I've seen lots of other people using styrofoam in their tanks. Check out

I guess it is safe! Thanks for the link. If anyone else does not think
it's safe, please let me know.

Thanks!

If you want to ask the guy who designed that tank, you can probably "Ping
Netmax" (put those words in your subject line) in
rec.aquaria.freshwater.misc - he is a regular there. If there is a
difference in the types of styrofoam he will know.
