Maintaining healthy plants and getting effective rooting in a small aquarium can be difficult. You need a depth of substrate that is normally more than the depth of the gravel and it would be nice to be able to swap out damaged / eaten / dead plants. I created this planter to deal with this. No need to transplant, clip the potted plant in and let its root system grow out to establish.
The planter takes 5 x standard (50mm dia & 50mm high) aquatic plant pots. The planter has a solid base with slatted supports around each planter location, so the whole planter can be filled with substrate but if a plant dies or is eaten, it can be easily swapped out (each plant pot is held in by x2 sprung clips). Finally, there is a lid over the whole thing to keep the soil within the planter and allow you to gravel over (note: plants can still be swapped out with the lid in place). The pictures show two planters in use within a Fluval Roma 90 tank. Water clarity and nitrate / nitrite levels in the tank are very good. The plants have never dislodged, the soil/substrate hasn't escaped and plant growth is vigorous. The front face is sloped to allow the planter to disappear into a tank and accommodate banking of gravel or stones to disguise it.
I printed all parts printed in PETG. Print planter the right way up. No supports are required (same goes for the lid - which has a small lug on it to help with placement/removal).
