So as a bit of a rock hound I have 4 rock saws. So I figured I would try cutting my pots in half with them. It works perfect and leaves no sharp edges. So if you are around the Olympia area and need good cuts that take less than 30 seconds to do then just ask.

Oh and hello as a new member here.

Figured it wouldn't hurt to offer. The pots that came with my tank were crudely knocked out. But the lay so much better and have more shade than trying to put a whole one down. When I get some corys they will love all of the extra spaces to swim around.

I tried doing this with a hacksaw Very Happy It worked, but now I have some new hacksaw blades. 1 blade per pot is a bit spendy. Wink

The tile-cutting tool that came with my dremel does the work nicely, though it tends to meander around a bit. Thankfully, my crays don't care about ugly edges.
