My substrate is probably 10% plant weights

[StephenP2003]

Anyone else use enough plant weights that you wonder whether the Aquarium Co-Op warehouse staff are judging you? I use them enough to notice the day the Co-Op increased the price 😡 (only a dollar or so, really).

Guess it's the result of being into both fish and plants equally, so I've got fish of all sizes and temperaments plowing through stem plants and playing water polo with tissue cultures. Eventually roots take hold and the weight just becomes part of the substrate. If there were ever a question of fish safety over time with these plant weights, pretty strong anecdote here that they're safe.

I do the same thing. I probably have a pound of them on standby at all times 😆

I use them to weigh down hornwort and have lost a few over the years. I can see an old one in the way back of my betta tank if I look through the side. I haven't tried to get it out yet. X3
