315 Gallon Pothos Filtration

Very nice. I've had pothos in all my tanks for a couple years now too. Works awesome.

I'm looking to do this in my new gar tank. I figured it would look pretty cool having them hover in the roots. So you just layed egg crate on top and stuck the plants into it?

Yea all I did was cut out two sections of egg crate and layed them over the braces of the tank. I just shoved the pothos through the holes and they've held up fine so far

What are the Demensions on this tank? Love it!

Haha thanks. It's 78x30x31. Weird dimensions but I got a good deal on it.

Nice tank, I'll be trying this with suction cup planters soon; have heard great things so it'll be great to try, I take it pothos is pretty easy to find?

I found them in Home Depot. From my understanding most of those big chain stores with a gardening section seem to have it.

Im surprised your silver dollars (red hooks? hard to tell) don't eat the pothos. I've added pothos in the past and they are gone in a matter of hours.

My red hooks don't really know what to make of it. They're kind of scared of the roots since they sway a bit in the current.

Hardware stores and garden stores got these. Pretty common plant . but the trick is /if you go to a high end store they will sell you this as they are selling a diamond and if you go to a cheap store they will sell you as cheap. You should be able to get his under 4 Quid's.

I actually bought that same exact shower caddy a couple weeks ago for my pothos, works great!

It's called Devils ivy and golden ivy, poison ivy one of the ones that give you a rash, at least on this side of the pond. I think the roots are the toxic part to household pets, doesn't bother fish.
