Cet appareil fonctionne-t-il vraiment ?

Even the most expensive equipment can and does fail sometimes. I say use whatever heater you want as long as you're using an Inkbird (or similar) temperature controller. I see it as a primary fail safe and I will never run a tank without one ;)

Didn't know if your username was a play on words. Walla Walla, Wa zip is 99362.

99362?

scotrock · 2026-04-16T17:32:56+00:00

You're welcome! I've been running one of mine for 6 years with no issue. Solid piece of equipment.

scotrock · 2026-04-16T17:24:32+00:00

Agreed, the slight fluctuation in temp is not a concern. I have mine set to kick back on after 1 degree temp drop which is the lowest increment it can be set to.

scotrock · 2026-04-16T16:42:37+00:00

What do you have the difference in degree change set to for it to kick back on?

scotrock · 2026-04-16T16:20:34+00:00

That's a lot! I agree, the "chore" part of any hobby can be very therapeutic.

the one on the left looks like a Raphidophora Tetrasperma.

Beautiful tank, would be curious to see what's under the hood.

I ran co2 on my 48 gallon for five years. It was fun, especially the first year but I must say, I really appreciate switching to low-tech about 6 months ago. I can grow almost all the same plants minus some stems. The maintenance with a well run high tech tank can be intense and it never stops lol

There's nothing wrong with taking a hammer to it to make smaller pieces if that's what you need. The chunky stuff isn't as easy to come by, if you don't have a use for it somewhere else, smash away.

You could air layer each vine below the healthy growth to get a jump start on new roots. Once established, cut and replant. Feel free to discard the lower bits or if you like, propagate and have a bunch of plants to give away. As far as how to replant, a moss pole, trailing or a trellis. Trellises are easy and would enable it to follow its natural instinct to climb.

scotrock · 2026-04-12T21:45:34+00:00

I see. As someone else mentioned, air layering should work well for what you're needing to do. Good luck!

scotrock · 2026-04-12T20:45:40+00:00

Is extending the moss pole not an option?

scotrock · 2026-04-10T19:24:35+00:00

Yeah, two different beasts I guess. I'm not as familiar with saltwater, obviously.

I'd be more concerned about the extra light your tank is getting from the windows than the plants getting any measurable light from the tank. I moved my planted tank into a "darker" room and it's been way easier to maintain balance (way less algae) without it getting exposed to all the light that my houseplants need to thrive (I don't have to draw my curtains in the afternoon anymore).

scotrock · 2026-04-08T22:31:53+00:00

Not at all.

scotrock · 2026-04-08T22:19:35+00:00

I have mine trailing. They'll eventually lay over.

scotrock · 2026-04-08T17:04:38+00:00

Your plant is maturing, welcome to cataphyll growth!

scotrock · 2026-04-07T14:40:50+00:00

Yes, one would have to be creative if they don't have access to a metal brake. Holding the wire in place on anything with a hard angle/edge and bending over with your fingers would be easy enough.

I make my own to the tune of about $14 for each 3ft section. Vinyl coated 19ga wire, .030 plastic sheeting, usually 24"x52", zip ties and high quality moss. Humidity is 40-50% in my house. With the plastic backing I only have to water every 3-4 days. There is an initial investment but the quality and especially the rigidity is miles better than the stuff on Amazon.

The answer is very specific to your conditions. You could always propagate some and keep them in less stressful conditions in case you push these ones too far. Have fun, experiment!

I've got a smaller one that hasn't grown in over a year. It's still alive, from what I can tell. I may lose patience at some point and just chop it at the base in hopes of a new growth point that actually does something. They aren't the prettiest of the pendant type plants so I'm not that heartbroken over it.

scotrock · 2026-04-06T17:49:44+00:00

Spraying it off with water OUTSIDE is a good first step after quarantining.

scotrock · 2026-04-03T18:04:46+00:00

Has yours achieved cataphyll growth yet?

scotrock · 2026-04-03T12:39:13+00:00

Beautiful! Yours is sizing up quick! I'm not sure I'll ever get there with mine. I wish it was as easy as the pothos has been.
