ABSTRACT:
An accessory for firmly anchoring plants and the like at the bottom of an aquarium. A generally planar member is sized to fit within the aquarium, and rests in close proximity and parallel with the bottom of the aquarium. A means for removably fastening articles to the planar member is provided, enabling the positioning and attachment of articles, such as live and artificial plants, anywhere along the surface of the planar member. In a preferred embodiment, the planar member comprises a grid having rectangular openings adapted to receive coupling members which fasten to the grid, and also firmly grip the article to be anchored. As part of an under-gravel filtration system, a slotted planar member adapted to receive similar coupling members enables articles to be firmly anchored while at the same time providing filtration of the water within the aquarium.
