If you put the whole pot, rock wool and all, in your aquarium, it will result in massive algae blooms. It happened to me.
hmmm, I think this is a good possibility for me. I bought a bunch of plants after I up-dated my lighting and kept the foam wrapped in lead around the stems and planted them that way. I am now getting a huge algae bloom. Thanks! :bowing:
