I have some redroot floaters in my tank which have started doing surprisingly well. They didn't do to well to start with but I added some to my shrimp tank and it has grown pretty well in there. Once it had critical mass I now seem to have a decent amount of plants in the main tank. The problem I have is that it invariably gets sucked under the frogbit and then starts to rot or just gets squished by the flow. I have tried floating air hose which works to an extent but still isn't great and eventually frogbit gets in there and the redroot ends up under it
I have been thinking about somehow sectioning off part of the tank (probably the front corners) but trying to figure out what I could use that wouldn't particularly upset the flow and look of the tank. I was originally just thinking of some sort of curved clear plastic or glass but this would mess up the flow and once any flow that did get round it would probably just squish the plants back against it as it came back from the tank glass.
I wasn't sure about something like a floating bowl. I know an ice cream container would work but this would effectively be a separate tank and also look well um, like a floating ice cream container
Another idea I had was taking a round transparent plastic container and cutting it into slices but not sure if this would just look like bits of plastic floating in the tank...
Any suggestions on something I could do that wouldn't looks too bad?
This is some of the redroot floaters after I restarted the filter and saving it is starting to become a bit of a chore....
