FAQs
What size substrate should I use?
The ideal substrate size depends on your plant or coral. For most aquatic plants, small gravel or coarse sand works well. Ensure the particles are not so fine that they clog the water circulation hole.
Can this be used in both freshwater and saltwater tanks?
Yes, the glass construction and suction cups are suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquarium environments.
How do I clean the glass cup?
Gently rinse the glass cup with plain water. For stubborn algae, use a soft aquarium brush or cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners.
Will the suction cups damage my aquarium glass?
No, the suction cups are designed to provide a strong grip without causing damage to standard aquarium glass.
How many plants can I put in one cup?
The number of plants depends on their size and the dimensions of the cup. Typically, one to three small plants or a single frag is recommended for optimal growth and aesthetics.
Is the water circulation hole important?
Yes, the hole allows for water exchange within the cup, providing essential nutrients and oxygen to the plant roots or coral, and preventing stagnant conditions.
Troubleshooting
Suction cups are not sticking
Ensure the aquarium glass and suction cups are clean and free from debris. Moisten the suction cups slightly before reattaching.
Plant/coral appears unhealthy
Verify the placement receives adequate light and water flow. Ensure the substrate used is appropriate for the plant or coral species.
Cup falls off the glass
Clean the glass and suction cups thoroughly. Check for any damage to the suction cups; replace if necessary.
