Hi,

I'm interested in the potting method since I do have UGF, and will have
plants soon (to be delivered in a few days) and have been trying to figure
out a good way to trap nutrients to the roots...

my question is:

1. how large diameter would be sufficient to give enough root space for
most plants? (my aquarium floorspace is 30"x12".. so it won't be easy to put
more than a few small-diameter containers)
2. how shallow can these containers be?
3. do I need to punch any holes in the bottom of the containers?
4. wouldn't the roots rot? how to prevent this?
5. can you do this with larger plants like amazon sword plants, etc?

Since you have a UGF, you might want to plant heavy root feeders like
Vallisneria in pots. Use margarine containers, or cut down water bottles.
You
can plant the plants in the containers, then bury the containers in the
gravel
so they don't show.
