I really like the design, I've always thought airline tubing looks like detritus plastic.

[laurie_gemacosta]

That looks great! My local pet store told me I couldn't fit more than 1 plant in a 5 gallon fishtank and I was quite bummed

After watching your videos, you are really a hard working person. You try anything n everything to fix this hobby👍🏼

[EGWL]

YES !! A LIFESAVER !!! I was looking for this the other time when someone had posted pictures in a fish group but couldn't find a link to purchase it. Thanks a lot Irene !!

I can relate I have a lot of duckweed, but this really helps thank you sooo much

I used your airline tubing idea as inspiration for my “fence” that I made from straws! 😂. Thanks for the Etsy link now that I see what a difference it makes I don’t mind investing in something better!!!

[Poconogreyhound]

Just got these in the mail today after watching your video. For me, they are soo much better than airlines, thanks for posting!

The trick for a nice, stable airline ring is to use the hot part of the hot glue gun to widen one end so you can put the other end into it. Make sure to add a bit of hot glue into the wider end to keep the other end in place. Keeps its shape, floats well, and a nice clean look without a weird glob of glue on the outside. I place floating plants around the rings so the ring stays in place. I can totally see the appeal of the suction cup mounts though, if you want plants inside the rings instead.

I got a similar setup, except it’s magnets that you place inside and outside, with the inner magnet attached to a rod through which you thread the airline tube circle.

You have stunning gravel free scapes! Would love to see a newt tank from you!

[gotohellenwaite]

Thank you! I have floating plants that go crazy everywhere. My fish are like where’s my food…

Inject CO2 and use reverse osmosis water for an algae free tank.
I am a professional aquascaper, FYI dragon stone and dragon woods are my personal favorite to work with.
Looking good keep up the great work.

Cool product, but I don't understand why people think a little algae growth looks worse than having a big plastic ring, a suction cup, and that mount right in the center of your tank.

I love this lady. She seems so kind and fun to be around.

[Wompkirby]

is it bad for tank rocks to grow algae?

[BadKittyNoMilk]

I have those I bought the 3 sizes. I wondered about the ones that adjust when the water lowers, I wasn’t sure if my snails would get stuck under them or in the small spaces My floating plants and aquarium plants keep dying, the fish store person said there was nothing wrong with my plants dying l. Maybe because they want me to keep buying plants from them 🤔🙄

How smart! Also is that new fish I see 👀
They look like harlequins
