I was wondering if people ever remove foreign objects from their tanks after the plants root and become established? Specifically, if I embed small plastic containers (i.e. film canisters) in the background for later planting, do the plants just grow out of the containers and spread? or does the container serve to limit the plant growth? would it be best to use an open "basket" type planter half embedded which would allow the roots to grow out of the container?
Along the same lines, if you use plastic (or worse, metal) clips to pin vines and such to the background, do you guys make sure to remove the clips once the vines are established? or do you leave them as is?
Thanks for your comments!
