Product Information
Full details
The SuperFish Scapers Plant Pot is designed for aquarium hobbyists looking to add vertical depth and floating aesthetic elements to their freshwater or saltwater tanks. This compact, transparent acrylic pot attaches directly to aquarium glass via a secure suction cup, providing an ideal micro-environment for aquatic plants. While it is an excellent tool for creative aquascaping, users should note that its small 40mm x 40mm footprint is best suited for small-scale plants rather than large, fast-growing specimens.

Troubleshooting
The suction cup frequently falls off the glass.
Clean both the suction cup and the aquarium glass thoroughly to remove algae or slime. Ensure the surface is completely smooth.
The pot appears cloudy over time.
Gently wipe the acrylic with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and aquarium-safe water to remove mineral deposits or biofilm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Rinse the plant pot thoroughly with room-temperature tap water before the first use to remove any production residue.
- Filling: Fill the container approximately two-thirds of the way with your preferred aquatic substrate.
- Planting: Carefully place your plant roots into the substrate, ensuring they are well-anchored.
- Placement: Ensure the aquarium glass is wiped clean of any biofilm or algae before applying the suction cup to ensure a strong seal.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the suction cup to ensure it has not lost its grip. When cleaning, remove the pot and gently rinse with water; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could harm your fish or damage the acrylic.
