Expectorating_Aubergine Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Let's see some roots! I've always liked the look of terrestrial plants roots growing underwater.

Fish Folk Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Lovely rootwork. I appreciate the tint as well. I’m afraid all of my roots are understudies to yours. But here’s a couple glimpses of the starts… 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shmaty Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 At my old house I had a 40g breeder with a beautiful Pothos vining out the top of it. I have a similar setup slowly growing out of my 180g. It's not as grand but it's new...so, yea. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a generic light I got off amazon. It worked but wasn't as Ideal as I would have liked. Hopefully it's easier to see in this picture. Pros: It was bright and made the leaves face inwards towards the centerline of the tank. It just looked good. It was also very adjustable and I could move the lights when needed. Cons: It was nearly inaccessible once installed. The light's clamp hooked onto the side of the glass, that meant part of it was "inside" the tank-the entire power assembly was above the water but....it was an potential risk. The toggle button/power cable also hung behind the glass. I had to reach up through the bottom of the stand to turn it on/reprogram it's timer, anytime the power went out-which happened all to often at the old place. In the It worked, but there was probably a better way to do it. Definitely looked good though. On 12/21/2021 at 2:43 PM, Matt_AKA_Poth-O-Carry said: that is truly beast mode. well done! Yo, for sure! This thing had massive leaves. At least, compared to my pothos growing in dirt... I thought I had a picture of my hand next to it, but apparently not. This is the best I could find. Most leaves were the size of an adult's hand. The also have a richer green than my potted ones. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expectorating_Aubergine Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Noyice. Mines leaves didn't get bigger, and they actually have become chlorotic as of late. Gotta add more iron and ferts to the water as my bichirs aren't pooping enough.... Edited December 23, 2021 by Expectorating_Aubergine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 This was a root themed Pygmy corydora tank. The pothos roots would grow into the substrate and all the sponges. I had to cut them back and thin them out several times 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expectorating_Aubergine Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 Yeah mine grew into anything they could. Had to cut ficus roots out of the power filter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
