Pothos Rack for Axolotl Tank

[Go_redfish]

As promised (I know its late) the pothos rack we built for Emma's 40g Axie tank.

Materials
3- 1/2 x 36 poplar square dowels
Black plastic hardware net (pond safe)
Zip ties
1 & 1/4 inch brad
Flex seal (wouldn't use it on anything kept directly in the tank.)


Gave the sealant 3 days to cure before attaching the basket. Fits perfectly into the tank's frame. Lighting is a small, light weight LED grow light.

This looks awesome!

I really wish I could do something like this. Unfortunately I can't because one of my cats eats everything...

Happy Axies! So this rack has been in place for almost 2 days. We usually do a 50% water change every other day because nitrates start creeping up. Going on day 3 and only did a 10% because nitrates were barely giving a reading. I love pothos ^_^

Roots are just sitting bare in the support basket

Nice.

Another good way to do it is get wire shelving cut holes in it and drop hydroponics baskets into the holes.

I've used aluminum window frame in the same manor as well

I have four cats, only one of them eats everything. And of course it has to be the special needs cat that does it, like I don't spend enough on vet bills as it is.

My oldest turns 10 this year (and getting grumpier by the day) and my youngest not long ago turned two.


Sorry for the ramble, I love them and haven't been able to have them living with me for around 9 months and while I visit them almost daily, I still miss them so much.
