What can I use to help weigh my artificial plants down?

Query by Fish Lover: What can I use to aid weigh my artificial plants down?
I want to know what I can use to weigh my vegetation down and exactly where can I buy the product. I have appeared at petco, walmart, meijer and have not identified anything at all. I have a really deep tank and it is difficult to get in there and bury the plants after they get loose.

Many thanks

You could use the bottome of a watter bottle to make an anchor. you go one/4 inch up from the bottome of the bottle reduce it out. then poke an hole in the middle of the bottom. and attach the plant, now you have a bowl to put your gravel/sand in, performs wonderful and is totally safe for your tank.

Q&A: Can i have plants in fish tank widout light?

Question by : Can i have plants in fish tank widout light?
I am planning to have a Java fern n anubias in my goldfish tank. I heard that these plants r pretty hardy n require less light than other plants. I was thinking that if i could have these plants without keeping a lighting system in my aquarium. My room is pretty bright so whole day my aquarium is exposed to considerable amount of light. Or is it that they need light for whole 24 hours? If so how do these plants survive in the sea or ocean where there is no artificial light at night?

Probably not..

They survive outside because of this thing called the Sun, which is VERY bright. Compare sunlight to the light in your room, it’s probably 100X brighter.

They are low light plants, and can survive with a relatively small amount of light, but normal room lighting is not usually enough.
