floaters!!!

[DMC]

alrght, baiscally i have a couple of fake plants in my tank. and yeah there pretty cool.
but weve all seen the base of them i hope. well ill fill the little thing up with pebbles then place down. from there ill place it in and bury it some more.
but after about 1 week the pebbles will move and the plant will float.
this happends to all my plants like after 1 week!

is there a cheap way, like bluetac or something that i can do to keep the plnats dowan and covered by pebbles?

you could try placing fishing sinkers in the little thing at the base of the plant and then bury it in gravel.

the sinkers would definatly hold it down and will be hard for fish or anything to move

thankyou. solves the problem. i wouldve never thought of that

Er... don't sinkers contain lead. Lead is a cumulative poison, no?

[firedragon92]

ahh shit your right i didn't think of that

however the concept is correct just replace the sinkers with another heavy object

sorry about that it just slipped my mind

River pebbles and fishing line...

[firedragon92]

I was going to say the same thing about the lead, but then i thought about the plant anchors sold at the LFS, they are small strips of lead aren't they?
Not that that makes it OK!
i don't know because i obviously didn't buy them!!!
what i do know is natural is best , be creative and make a feature out of it at the same time if you can
