I can give you an insight into using inert gas to preserve your meteorites.
First its expensive - your aquarium will leak - very small molecules - I
blanket all my adhesives with Nitrogen and it works to preserve the liquid
adhesives from oxygen and moisture. I use argon as its heaver than nitrogen
but a tab bit more expensive. The simplest method and most practical and
economic is use an emitter in a closed display case. Paleo-Bond carries them
made by Cortec.

Hi

I was wondering if it could be a good idea to make small "aquariums" for
storage of "rusters", and fill them with nitrogen and finally seal them.
