Fish Hide Away

is it safe to put a plastic jar in my saltwater tank. We are in the process of switching to a 90 gallon and we had to use all our live rock from our 20 gal so the current is really strong and our fish need somewhere to rest.

Huh? If your current is so strong that a fish can't find a comfortable spot to rest, you better rethink your circulation, to answer your question though, no, a plastic jar won't hurt anything, but will it stay put?

You are welcome, might I suggest you transfer a powerhead or two to the new tank to cut down on your existing flow? Good luck & welcome.
