Tank Planters + Wonder Bulbs Aponogeton 2X Combination
$15.00 Shipped
Tank Planters are a new planting method that use a threaded container to hold plant roots along with a nutrient-rich substrate. They maintain the plant as a full-modular unit, so you can move it around as you like. They make it easy to keep plants in bare-bottom setups and with fish that like to dig and disturb regular rooted plants. Here is a shot of the "medium" (2.25" wide) Tank Planter model included with this combination offer.
The Tank Planter includes the planting container (bottom center) along with planter screen (top left), time-release nutrient pellets (top center) and planter soil (top right). This offer includes two complete kits already planted with Aponogeton bulbs. All you have to do is drop the planters in your tank and watch the plants grow.
Here is another quick picture showing representative Aponogeton bulbs.
I acquired these as the familiar "wonder bulbs" and I'm unsure of the species, although they might be A. natans and similar species. Like most Aponogeton these will grow well in low tech, low light systems.
The Tank Planter system offers a particular advantage for Aponogeton because the re-closeable planter cup makes it easy to add more fertilizer to the root zone. Aponogeton seem to do best with good root nutrition and can start to decline in nutrient-poor substrates.
This next picture can give you an idea of how the Tank Planters + rooted plants might look in your tank.
This is a simple 2-gallon enclosure with a Cryptocoryne and an Echinodorus plant. I think that they look nice with the planters sitting right on the tank bottom, but you can also cover them with a gravel of your choice for a more natural appearance.
I will ship the complete 2X combination via USPS Priority Mail to any US destination for $15.00. This is a good value. Just send a PM or respond into this thread if you have any questions.
