Work as advertised
We have somewhat high nitrates in our tap water, so have a very hard time controlling nitrates in our 60 gallon aquarium. These baskets do exactly what I wanted them for and the price was good.I've tried putting pothos in the aquarium previously, but our Buenos Aires Tetras munch all the roots within 1-2 days. These baskets seem to be working to protect the roots and hold the plants in place. I have a rimmed tank, so needed to use the included suction cups, which are holding well. My first attempt to stick the baskets to the back wall of the tank didn't work, but pushing a little harder has resulted in a nice stick for the past several days. So far I've put 4 large pothos starts (about 1 foot long with large root system) into 2 of the baskets. I'll monitor my nitrates over the next few weeks, and if still increasing, will add another basket once my plants are big enough to take more cuttings.Update 1/31/24 - The pothos are working well to control nitrates. The suction cups on these aren't great, and I've had the cages fall off several times. One of the cages is particularly problematic, and it could be due to its proximity to the filter outlet. I find if I don't get the cages back up within 24 hours, the Buenos Aires Tetras will eat the unprotected root balls. The pothos don't seem to bothered when this happens, and once protected go right back to pushing out roots.If these continue to fall off every few weeks, I'll revise my rating down to 3 stars.

Exactly what I needed
These did exaclty what I needed them to do for my riparium plants. Comes with 4 different sized spacers for the back and the largest size fit over the large black rim of my 20gallon tall. I used a 10 follar bag of Leca clay balls to hold the roots in place, and everything is growing beautifully after 2 months. They seem well built and were no problem to put in the tank.

Works well, but needs a little reinforcement
They work, but I have to reinforce with zip ties and aqua tape because the suction cups couple handle the weight the of the plants once they began to grow.

Love these! We have giant cichlids who don't appreciate plants. This solves the problem
I bought a spider lily and something else from the pond store; 2 small plants were easily divided into 8 different plants; I used a plain paper towel to line the baskets because I was using the Fluval fishtank soil in the baskets; the baskets sit on the rim of the tank in the back. We have these on the backs of our 75s; one has a 5 year old Jack Dempsey and the other has a 3 year old albino Oscar and his buddy the giant Pleco; both tanks have nice SunSun cannister filters but with the addition of the water plants on top you just get that really crisp, clean, gorgeous water. It also adds character to the tank itself with plants growing out of the tanks. Plan to try a pothos the same way, though we've had them growing in a wicked planter that dips into the tank and it wasn't entirely happy.These are well-made and small enough they don't take up a lot of space or look ugly hanging back there. The little gadgets that slide in to attach the baskets to the siding aren't quite big enough for the monster tanks BUT I just pushed the glass lid up against them and they stay put. I bought one set, liked them so much I bought another for the Jack. He HATES plants but has agreed the black baskets can stay. The live plants reduce the brown gunk (that has a name, but I can never remember it and I'm too lazy to look it up) and the plants thrive on the extra nutrients. Pond stores have cool varieties but just remember the baskets are small; you'll need to go in and split the plants as they grow, and either get them new black baskets, or share with a friend.All in all, I love this idea and I love the implementation and my fish say "thanks, dude!"

Hook Issues and Slippery Suction: A DIY Fix for Rimmed Aquariums
What I didn't like about this product is that the hooks weren’t compatible with a rimmed Aqueon aquarium, and even with four suction cups, it kept sliding down overnight. I tried multiple times to secure it better but had no luck. In the end, I had to use a Dremel to trim some of the plastic on the plant holder so the hooks would fit with the rimmed tank.
