Hi! Can this hold water on the bottom?

My has been flooded before, they seemed to be sealed with silicone but I would ask the seller

I agree with the two previous answers. The bottom is silicone and it would hold some water but I not sure it is designed for it.

As advertized it looks like it does. Haven't put water in yet but there's silicone, sealing the bottom glass to the base.

I think so - It also holds a lot of water. Look for one thinner less water absorbent.

I suppose you can as the bottom is flat. However, it is pretty lightweight so you might want to lean it up against something until you start filling it (to help weigh it down).

Yes, but not the very bottom. It has a clothlike material where the legs are attached.

No. The ony way to get water into or out of the bottom is through a tiny hole about the size of a pencil in the top plate.

No, It is not designed for that. I always use a wide siphon tube on a hose to vacuum the bottom during water changes.

No, not really. It does have a small flat bottom, but not enough to hold it upright for use.

It holds water and gravel with no support, so I do not see why not. I use it for my aquaponics and works well

As long as the ring is full of air it will hold any amount of water below the ring... Just make sure you don't feel the water above the bottom of the ring.. :-)

Hi Kathy. In my experience, although it's been a long while, no. Part of the problem was that the system is fighting gravity with the water on the bottom and it just couldn't compensate. Great concept. Poor execution.

Yes the bottom compartment will fill with water, this is perfectly normal. It should not overflow, unless there is a crack in the base. I hope this helps!

I've been pleased with mine. There is a way to hook up the bottom, so it's kind of a one size fits all. Hope this helps.

Yes it can but it has holes in the bottom to drain extra water, what I did last fall is tied some plastic saucers on with string it helped but I did still spill alot was able to keep some plant alive all winter in Wisconsin

I wouldn't fill it but it could hold a supply of water or ice. Don't try to move it when even partially full.

Don't know if it will hold water below the water line. We bought it for draining water our of a kayak, but it doesn't sit below a water line.

Hmmm, I've never tried that so I'm not certain. It is a metal bottom though, so I imagine it's possible.

As Long As The Top Small Piece Stays Above The Water Line, Then The Answer Is yes Although I'm Not Sure About The Fabric Bottom
