Questions & Answers

Can you tell me if the plants are ?

The answer is no. These are all live plants with roots that have already developed

Can you tell me how big each anchor is? A 5" by 5" square. Are they all the same length or does the total sum?

The size of each one is about 2 1/2 inches

My understanding is that snails are more prone to deterioration when exposed to heavy metals. What will happen to my nerlite and mystery snails if I use this?

There's been a lot of debate about It has been suggested that lead weights are another metal. These are, however, clear cases of lead weights. According to what I read, lead builds up a protective layer in water, but if your pH level is below 7, then that layer could be removed. You might be able to avoid this sort of problem if you change the water enough frequently. My axolotl, for example, is very sensitive to toxin contamination and can absorb these toxins readily. The shoes ended up being returned since I did not want to take a If I am using cotton string, then I do so in an aquarium. If I want to attach rocks or cholla or driftwood to my plants, I should use silicon or another safe glue.

What is the material of the earrings?

Yes, there is a warning on the back of the box that says, "contains lead" I'm returning them after they were told to keep children away.

LEAD? I guess I should have known that, but I don't? The item is like six bucks, and I should have known, but the package is being returned
3/5

Why are you doing that in the first place? You don't have to be really worried about fish being fragile! Just keep them out of reach of children. The plants in an axolotl tank shouldn't be tied to rocks with cotton string, so I needed something to weigh them down. Animals with these skins absorb everything they come in contact with. Do you lead? I don't know. That's not what I want.

It's not necessary to buy a plant for your aquarium if it already exists
5/5

I couldn't live without these additions to my aquarium. They make everything so much easier. The rhizomes I have on my plants that are impossible to put into the substrate are easier to write down. If you prefer, you could use super glue gel to place them on a driftwood or rock piece, but I like to move mine around because I have trouble making up my mind.

The plants in the aquarium are kept at the bottom of the tank
5/5

During the last few months, I have become more serious about maintaining a freshwater aquarium. I have gradually added live plants in place of fake ones. The aquarium is supposed to be healthier with this product. Angry at first, I soon realized that plants float on their own rather than be held down, so unless you weigh them down, they drift around the tank. This is why you have to weigh things, which appears to be When they say they will do something, they do it. The metal strips are flexible enough so that you can wind them around the base of a plant before sticking them in the tank anywhere you wish. It does exactly what it is advertised to do. A word of caution is that fish tank weights that are generally made of lead are usually the ones in aquariums. No exception can be made in this case. As far as I can tell, handling your fish is not going to harm them, and they seem to care about it as well. In any case, you probably want to keep small children out of the way if you have them around. It is easy to swallow them since they are so small.

Effectively accomplishes the task at hand
5/5

These worked pretty well for the two dozen plants I have used them for. Make sure not to squeeze them too hard if the plant has a sword (like an amazon sword). It is sometimes sufficient to just loop them around the base of the plant.

It has a fine product, but Amazon doesn't fulfill well
3/5

All the lead weights had fallen out of the package after the product had been clearly opened (not ripped but cut open with a knife/scissors). Approximately 20% of the workers were absent. Amazon would only allow me to exchange the whole shipment for a replacement, although I had hoped to just get a few more. Then, I would have had to stop working on my aquarium, waiting for days for the turnaround, sending an unnecessary package and wasting the overworked shipping workers' time (during a pandemic) and wasting fuel resources during a climate emergency. remember the days when you could simply email Amazon for assistance and receive actual assistance from a live It was never damaged before it was shipped to me! My fault is not the worker's, but the company for putting them into a stressful position where they are either forced to send low-quality products or risk losing Weights are perfect for small groups of stem plants (or single stems). They contain lead, they work as advertised, and they're large enough to cut in half for small groups of stem plants. I will not be planting my Pogostemon Stellatus 'Octopus' in the substrate any more and can now enjoy my life without ever having to turn my back on the project. I thank the seller for his help.

I am very impressed with these weights
5/5

It's great to have these weights! It is great that my plants are holding down at the bottom of the tank and I don't have to worry about them floating up and causing damage to their roots and stems when I have to push them back down into If you don't need the entire length of the ropes, you can cut them in half.

Weighs are very good
5/5

In my case, one of my pedestals for writing instruments was insufficiently weighted so that it would remain upright when a medium-weight writing instrument was placed in it. This added weight gave the pedestal more than enough weight to hold any of my writing pens as they stayed upright. As a result, I was able to glue these lead strips into the bottom of the pedestal and they easily fit in.

I can honestly say that they The Ranchu goldfish I have are my favorite
5/5

The weights assist them in staying in place, and they are like little puppies. In addition, I have a filter floss in my hands. This is such a great weight! The things I bought twice are so good that I might get.
