Wow beautiful tank! And great pictures! Roots look healthy on that plant and it will love all that light!

Can't wait to see this setup in a few months!

Wanna see some really hardcore DIY?

Basket: just one of those baskete you sometimes get small fruit in.
Gravel: Random gravel out of my pond.
Plant: Cutting from my willow tree.

Total cost: 0 $ :)

Note: I know it's not the same sitting on the edge, but I am currently trying to find a way to suspend it in the deep part of the pond. Then it will be :)
 
Thanks F1 vet!
I will update the plants pretty soon.
The pothos is extremely happy and greener than a few days before it went into the tank.
Its already showing roots starting to pop outta the net pot as well.
 
Very helpful! Thanks F1!
 
F1vet how about an update on your pothos/tank?
How often are you doing water changes these days?

I'll post pics after work, but I'm down to 1x 50% wc every 2 weeks for a stocked 125 with 5 6-8" red belly piranhas so I couldnt be happier, levels are spiking at 30ppm, but i do pour 5 gals of fresh water in twice between wc for mineral replacement and top off!
