How do others find these? I have several from different brands & of different sizes & none of them seem to be capable of holding water, not for even a few hours.
I stopped using these commercial dishes for this reason & now have a small collection of them in a carrier bag. These I mainly acquired with the T's, as part of a complete set up, when I brought T's off places like preloved etc. Yesterday I brought a G Rosea home with a lovely setup & topped the pre-emptied (for travel) water dish up when I got home, a few hours later & it's empty again, yet a dish, (a peanut butter lid,) in the tank next to it, still contains water almost a week after I cleaned it & topped it up. I had forgotten how useless these dishes are. Or is it just me? Or don't I know the trick required to make them hold water?
I have thought of using some silicone sealant on the base, to see if that will work. as I have seen plenty of people using silicone within their T's enclosures for various jobs.
