Plant Weight

[ridewake210]

Just curious as to what to others are using to weigh down their live plants in there planted tank.


I am aware of the lead strips but am just wondering if someone has used something different.



Thanks

They restrict the plant. I plant them properly and let them root.

Agree^^

You can use a hair net. It is elastic so you can put it around rocks and stuff.

Or some people use fishing string.

I super glue a stone to the bottom trying to avoid as many roots as possible.

Uh, I didn't know anybody actually weighed plants down...

I just stick mine in the sand and they stay there.

 

[ridewake210]

Well then maybe i didnt stick mine in far enough.
I'll try again

What kind of plants do you have or having trouble planting?

 

[ridewake210]

No troubles now, wasnt planting them far enough in my sand.
Good to go now.

Some types of plants shouldn't be buried deep though.
