Ken Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 This is a super easy way to contain floating plants. 2 feet of 3/8" vinyl tubing about $1 at Ace. one 3/8" splicer about $1.25 at Ace. I tied it to the side of the tank with a piece of black thread taped to the outside of the rim to keep it out of the HOB outflow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Very cool! I like how you connected the two ends. I connected my loop to the side of the tank using an airline holder suction cup, but black thread works great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 The thought was to leave enough slack in the thread to allow it to move up and down during water changes. It sorta works so long as it's not a big water change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanked Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I think you are on to something with the larger tubing. I guess I'm going to Ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
