Art by Stef* Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 wicca, I think they make all kinds of glass "orbs" for air plants. I have a few. You would just need to add a suction cup or rig it somehow. Search e-bay under "glass orbs". I'm sure a bunch will show up. They even have them in lots. I got mine cheap-fancy-50 cents. Where? Thrifty store, where else -Stef* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberty1776 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Nice tip Stef, thanks for the info, I have been wanting to get my hands on something like that also, however, like wikka said they are just a bit pricey. This will be a good diy project. Good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicca32 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 that would also make a cool feeding dish. i might just have to spend a bit extra and get one just for that when i get a bigger tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Would a soap dish work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Most soap dishes I see are flat... but the one you posted would be great I've actually thought about doing those 18" long planter boxes... fill with topsoil, cap with sand and plant so swords in the back of a tank, then stack rocks around it to hide the plastic planter box and plant anubius and java fern in the cracks of the rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricM Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I use these as feeding baskets. saves space on the substrate allows shrimp to feed from many sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtletanks91 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 When I really needed a planter I did a couple diy ones. You know those aqueon bottles you get in some kits you take in to get your water tested. Use a razor for a couple holes on the bottom. Couple holes on the side so a heater holder will fit and bam planter haha. I've also used the pots that potted plants come in with rock wool.mused pantyhose to go inside it and fill with substrate haha. Creativity and diy is a lot in our hobby for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeyp85 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I like the little things. The prices on some of these things though.. Smh. I like the creativity. By reading this post, I got an idea to make a hanging moss cloud on my back wall o my ten gallon. With a little piece of driftwood , some suction cups and some moss. Took 10 mins and my shrimp are loving it! Pika, ctaylor3737 and FireRedShrimp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same stuff just requires more knowledge. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
