Found a use for the little pots you usually get from the lfs if anyone is interested . I can't claim all of it as I saw someone make wires for curling round the plants on YouTube so it's just a variation on the theme.
I was using one of those glass bowls with suckers you can get online to put my house plants in on the side of the tank in the water. Problem was the roots didn't trail down into the water and hunched up in the pot, also my shrimp would creep into the pot so when I dropped the water level for changes I kept forgetting and had a frantic moment trying to get them out.
Anyway, came up with this, essentially just get a plastic plant pot. Drill a couple of holes in the size of airline tubing. Feed some wire through the air line tube, a coat hanger or similar, bend to shape and snip of the ends with side cutters. Voila, hang on pot for my pothos etc that will let the roots trail in the water and not catch shrimp.
