Stabizling artificial plants

[jft]

I like the hagen series of plastic marina plants but their bases are a JOKE . any ideas Of how to redo the bases so more stable and will not FLOAT?

You could glue the plastic plants to a rock or piece of wood. Guper glue gel works and won't hurt anything, or 100% silicon.

Thanks But looking for more stabilizing method,

They are designed to stay down by being buried in the substrate which should fill the tray and then cover it deeper. The substrate holds it in place. The plants are not really great in tanks with higher flow, larger fish or many fish that dig. If you have no substrate, you have to get creative. Just gluing pebbles etc, inside the base is not enough. You need to attach it to something heavier or weight it with something like sinking driftwood,

Yeah I get that should COME with HEAVIER BASES!

Try universal rocks plants. They are heavily weighed and the bases look like rock work.
