Tank Planters Mini Garden Combo Pack, with Free Shipping!

This is an introductory offer for the Tank Planters Mini Garden Combo Pack. Tank Planters are comprised of a threaded jar with a bottom covering that holds plant roots along with nutrient-rich substrates to create a favorable rooting environment. Tank planters work best with rosette-form or bulb plants that have sturdy root systems, such as Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus and Crinum. Here is shot of a Tank Planter with a rooted crypt plant.

The underwater plants in my 50-gallon setup are all planted in tank planters and have been growing in them for months with little special care. The sand/gravel substrate in that tank is deep enough to hide the planters for a natural appearance.

After a time many roots form in the planter. The planter substrate is comprised of a natural forest soil combined with other slow-release nutrient sources.

This offer includes the Tank Planters Mini Garden Combo Pack, a 5-piece planter set for small to medium-sized plants. The Mini Garden is comprised of two "medium" (2.25") tank planters (1) and three "small" (1.75") Tank Planters (2) with bottom coverings (3) for each. Planter screens (4) line the top inside surface of the planters, holding the plant in place and preventing substrate from spilling out of the top hole. Planter Gravel (5), a baked clay product, fills most of the top part of the planter. A thinner layer of Planter Soil (6) fills the bottom portion of the planter and provides a long-term nutrient source for plant roots. A detailed instruction sheet (not pictured) explains how to grow aquarium plants with your Tank Planters.

This is a lot of stuff. The following lists the two price points that I have calculated for this offer. Note the discounted price for the double-pack.

  • one Mini Garden Combo Pack with free USPS Priority Mail shipping $17.40
  • two Mini Garden Combo Packs with free USPS Priority Mail shipping $31.00 (>10% off)

Two of the Mini Garden packages should be sufficient to plant up most of a 20-gallon (24" X 12") or similar tank with a few foreground plants, some taller background foliage and a centerpiece plant. The planters offers limited root run, so you should not expect plants to grow to a large size. Tank Planters are great for controlling the size of plants that can grow too large in your aquarium, such as swords (Echinodorus). The smaller planter works well for plants that grow to about 7" tall. Plants will grow to about 10" in the medium planter.

Thank you for considering this offer! Please respond into this thread or with a PM if you have any questions.

Cheers,
 
I do still have the Large Planter 2-pack available. I quote myself here with that offer.

Tank Planters Large Planter 2-pack

Simplify aquarium plant growing! Perfect for discus setups and bare-bottom tanks. Control the size of swords and other large-growing plants.

This is an introductory offer for the Tank Planters Large Planter 2-Pack. Tank Planters are comprised of a container with a threaded bottom covering that holds plant roots along with nutrient-rich substrates to create a favorable rooting environment. Tank planters work best with rosette-form or bulb plants that have sturdy root systems, such as Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus, Aponogeton and Crinum.

The Tank Planters Large Planter 2-Pack includes the second-largest planter cup size, which is about 3" in diameter and has enough volume to hold a large, robust aquarium plant. The planter screens (below, lower left) line the inside top surface of the planter cups, holding the plant and substrate sturdily in place. The Large Planter 2-pack also includes four Soil Caps (below, lower right), which serve as a slow-release nutrient source when inserted in the planter cup during planting. The detailed instruction sheet explains how to grow aquarium plants with your Tank Planters. .

Also packaged the 2-pack is a portion of our new Planter Soil sufficient to plant up both planters. Planter Soil includes naturally-sourced soil and clay-based particles and also provides slow-release plant nutrients.

The Tank Planter offers limited root run for plants, so it useful for controlling the size of plants that can become too big in the aquarium environment, especially Echinodorus and Aponogeton varieties.

The following lists two prices for this offer. Note the discount with totally free shipping for the purchase of two separate packs (4 planters).

  • one Large Planter 2-Pack ($12.80) with $2 USPS Priority Mail shipping to any US destination $14.80
