Aqua Plant Stand

Simple plant stand intended to be mounted on side of the aquarium.

I'd avoid putting any heavy pots in it - use it with small and light plants.

Stand is intentionally bit loose - thought that can vary from filament to filament - in most cases there should be only slight resistance when sliding. Pot weight should prevent it from moving too easily.

USE IT only with sufficiently thick glass! +6mm should be a safe bet, 4mm might be fine, but I've seen thin, 3mm tanks, which let's be honest seem almost paper thin. I'd suggest not tightening the bolts too much, they just should hold it in place - and allow the stand to slide to sides in case of a accident. All in all as anything considering our tanks, you must be the judge.

ALSO be careful with kids or pets who can throw plants off the stand. It is thought to move are come apart rather than push too much on the glass, still accidents happen.

(I've already had opportunity to test it as recently had an external filter leak water over the floor, and while struggling with the input/output pipes, had the thing fall sideways - thankfully nothing serious happened).

UPDATES

- Added some basic parametrization options so it's easier to adjust plate diameter or the base inner width (if you need to fit it over something thicker than glass). (13.06.2026)
