Hi I'm looking for some advice about
gUSH Crystal Pod
They look very nice and I'm considering getting one to put in my tank. Has anybody used them? What are people's views of them?

Personally, I can't see the point of them, but I'm sure there's plenty of creative applications I haven't thought of. I think they'd be cool to use as window mounted Wabi Kusa, or even as emersed planted for the outside of nano tanks. In fact, this has got me thinking...

They are Pricey but look nice and could improve my plain black background.
What plants to put in it?

Cheaper chinese versions are available at half the price, weirdly I stumbled across them yesterday. I can't comment on the quality though.

I'd love to try one with something like a fern or Hydrocotle in it though, what plants would be suitable I wonder? They do look a bit small.

Cheaper version, cheaper thinner more fragile glass. I have the real thing and its lovely. I had mine in my tank on the side with some ammania in which lasted a while but then snails had their way with it. I also had some cuba in it to add some interesting height to my scape and the shrimp loved foraging in it. Might get it out again for my new CRS tank in my sig. here it is in use
