I was thinking of getting some hair pins (not bobby pins) to pin my chainsword to the substrate inthe front of my tank. What does everyone else use to secure the runners to the gravel bed?
pinning chainsword to the substrate?

If you have a problem with it staying down, you either have a poor substrate or an animal digging them up before the roots can get a grip.
I know the roots will hold it in the substrate, How do you hold it in place until that happens. My chains of chainsword are floating.
Flourite is my substrate.

As long as nothing is digging them up a hairpin will work fine. You could also use a bobby pin, it will just rust away and provide iron to the roots at the same time.
I think the cories in their scooting around rooting in the substrate may lift some of it. I'll try just the substrate and keep replacing it. But I'll probably pick up some hair pins just incase
