if you have a non-euro braced tank and an old ac70 filter...take the "guts" out of the filter leaving the plastic holder and the sponge...then get one of the vine plants for lik $4-8 from wal-mart clean the dirt off, place it in the filter on top of the sponge...bam hydroponics made easy...no roots in the tank (if you don't like that)...flows away from the moving parts of the filter + a plastic wall to stop growth that way...can't go wrong...i have plants in all of my hob filters...
