Tired of your heavy stem bunches floating to the surface?
Our 3D Printed Aquarium Plant Anchors are specifically engineered to keep your aquatic plants securely rooted in the substrate while they establish their root systems. This Wide version is specially designed with a 13mm internal opening—perfect for thick, fleshy stems or for planting massive clusters of stem plants all at once!
Key Features:
- Flexible Gripper Prongs: Inside the anchor are three flexible, anti-reverse cantilever springs. They gently flex to allow you to easily insert thick plant stems, but lock into place to prevent the plants from pulling back out—without crushing the delicate stems!
- Smooth Substrate Barbs: The outside of the anchor features sleek, rounded locking rings. They slide effortlessly down into gravel, sand, or aquasoil, while providing massive resistance against upward pulling forces.
- Depth-Stop Top Rim: The clean, flat collar at the top gives your thumb a comfortable place to push and acts as a stopper so you don't bury the anchor too deep.
- Aquarium Safe: 3D printed from high-quality, reef-safe PETG plastic that will never degrade or leach chemicals into your water.
How to use: Group your stems into a bunch and push the bottom of the cluster into the top of the anchor (the side with the flat rim). Then, push the anchor directly into your substrate until the top rim sits flush with the soil.
Note: The internal gripper prongs are designed to be snug to hold your plants securely. When inserting very thick, rigid stems, be gentle! Slowly twist or wiggle the stem through the center of the anchor rather than forcing it straight down. Forcing an oversized stem too hard can snap the internal flexible prongs.
Dimensions:
- Total Height: 16.0 mm (0.63 inches)
- Main Body Diameter: 15.0 mm (0.6 inches)
- Top Rim Diameter: 18.0 mm (0.7 inches)
- Internal Hole Diameter: 13.0 mm (0.5 inches) (Designed for thick, fleshy stems or large bunches. Check out our "Narrow" size for individual thin stems!)
