Artificial plants

[peteagem]

I’m about to set up my 300 and install the 3D background I bought from universal rock. Anyone have any good ideas on where to get really nice artificial plants? I’d imagine local craft stores would be a no no because of any glues they may use. I’d like to incorporate some cascading plants or something in the background before install. Any ideas or pictures of your setups would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Lol. Try universal rocks. That is where all of mine came from.

I saw their selection thanks. Is that the crevice background they offer?

I forget the name of it but yes it came from them. The one that sticks out from the back wall of the tank the least.

Try Michael's and Hobby Lobby for big cheap fake plants. Any craft store really.

How do I know if they’re aquarium safe

Do you want them to be very realistic?

You don't but they're plastic just like fish store fakes. I've a friend that's been using Michael's plants for years with zero issues.

I just wasn’t sure about any paint or junk deteriorating or any harmful glue.
