How to Grow Houseplants in an Aquarium Without Removing the Lids. 

Yet another simple, creative way to grow houseplants out of a fish tank! Really enjoyed watching this, great job!

"Terrestrially challenged flora" 🤣🤣 This is a really clever idea! For me, I've got to have lids-- evaporation and heat loss in the winter would be rough, plus I keep lots of fish that are said to jump. Fun and creative video! 🙂👍

Dear Gil: I do believe it’s about time I shared an update on my, largest tank: 120-gallons. It looks better than ever, now that the water has cleared; the backdrop and substrate are black; and, I’m having some success with aquatic plants, in there. Unfortunately, true Siamese algae-eaters (TSAE’s) uproot plants and stir up compost, beneath coal dust, so I don’t want them in this tank. The tank has loads of driftwood, so blackbeard algae is an issue. After shooting the video, I intend to work on that, again. I’ll probably move infected driftwood to the 75-gallon, so the TSAE’s can do their work on it. Although it would probably help me deal with my, algae infestations, I’m not keen to keep terrestrial plants, at the surface of the water of my aquaria. I do appreciate your expertise in making lids which hold plastic, mesh containers for plants. Thank you for sharing your process, creating terrific, do-it-yourself projects for your, amazing, aquarist hobby, on RU-vid. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar

Pushing boundaries Gil!!!.........

I absolutely love the terrestrial plants growing out the top!! It really makes for an incredibly beautiful tank!! The first time I really looked or researched about plants I found Jack and Dan and Colin 🌿♥️ I love this video GV one of my favorite subjects for sure!! Absolutely fantastic ideas on creating a cover using the ribbed 🤣 polycarbonate 🤣 I've saved all my little planter baskets for just a project like this!! It's absolutely lovely to have a planted Aquarium and grow plants out of the top!! It's perfect! PLant Life Project is a fantastic channel that's helped me learn all the different plants that can be grown an this way👍🌿 This was a fantastic tutorial and you always make your videos so much fun to watch 😁 So far I've got pothos, wandering Jew, a peace lily and a bird's nest fern (that's what it said on the label) I can't wait to try more!! The benefits to us and our aquariums is amazing!! I can also use the mental health part 🤣 At least now we have a choice of whether we want to go topless or not 🤣🤣🌿👍 I hope you and your family have a fantastic day!! Thank you for sharing!!👍🌿🐟🌿🥰♥️ AWESOME GV!!!

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

this is awesome!

Good job thank you

I like this idea! Really great way to improve water and air quality 👍🏻 But I’m afraid there aren’t enough plants to cure me…🤣😅🤣

Awesome job👍✌️

the plants growing out of the top looks great 👍 I have yet to experiment with this idea but this tutorial video was very informative and helpful. (love the gloves and hat at the beginning of the video very fashionable) you have a great sense of humor, keep up the great videos.

Fantastic Content. Thank You For sharing. have a nice day!❤👍

Awesome video my friend, I like the video!, a big hug, Have a happy day. 👍18

Amazing 👏

I see you have the same dry humour that I have .. 👍 .. Loving the builds.. Wow... I thought parlour palms liked it pretty dry.. Oh and for me... Best that I have a top on 😂 as for my tanks, most I have tops on but 2 I currently don't as I am going for a certain look but that will probably change

Great way to do it. I’ll be doing exactly this. I actually have a large piece of polycarbonate plastic not in use. So great. Thank you

Awsome 😂

Try some peace lilly plant the root system is massive.I don't use pots and just hang the plants in the tank with the roots dangling in the tank.I haven't done a water change in ages and the nitrates are sitting at 5ppm.I run topless.One of the reasons why I found that fish jump out I found was when the lights go out at night it was to much of a contrast and the fish can't adjust that quick so they freak out and jump out.

The guy who owned my house before me grew weed. Those clay balls are in every garden bed around my house.

How would you suggest preventing bowing for longer tanks? I'm thinking about my 20gal long.

I have some of that poly I have been thinking of using but I've been worrying about algae growing inside it, have you had any problems with that?

Nice How thick is carbonated sheet? Thanks

Uhm hi, what are the names of those plants
