You could also get a larger glass vase or a large glass water bottle like this

The cool thing is that you can totally seal and open it whenever you want and it even has a glass top for a small led light :grin3:

On Hawaii they apparently use "Crack Seed Glasses" a lot for Opae Ula keeping.

Those large jars look perfect, for us in the UK IKEA sell large jars like this with a corked top which are great and similar in size.

oooh looks nice hmm.. but if sealed is there enough oxygen in the water? i know if sealed then less water evaporation.

Jars are the easiest to house opaes. You can move it anytime you want & extremely simple. Just add your substate or rocks, water, & opae. Watch & enjoy.
