i know this is more ideally place in the set up/filtration but its my rays that cause this issue.
im going to be setting up my new tank in the next few months, before i had rays i had alot of plants in my tank which id like to have back but its a loosing battle with the rays pulling them out of the sand so ive been having a think.... my new tank will be glass, here in the UK alot of the taller plants come in plastic pots with foam wrapped round the roots to help them sink, the pots have grooves in the sides for the roots to grow through. ive thought that if i silicone the bottom of the plastic pot to the base of the tank, then cover with sand they should look good and stay in position permanently. i know they wont be moved round very easily after but thats kinda the idea, other than this, can anyone think of any flaws or maybe better ideas to stop the rays moving and destroying the plants?
seeing as its bound to be asked with you lot,:j/k: the new dimensions will be 7x4x2.5 and will have 2 - 4x1.5x1.5 sumps so will hold about 550 gals of water
i only want the plants round the outside 2 edges that are against the 2 walls that the tank will be against to keep as much floor space as possible
thanks
