This guy should also design a planter that’s modular for a back wall of an aquarium that would look awesome

Watch this space Dave has some cool plans.

Another advantage would be easy transfer to another aquarium. You could transfer a tower to a new setup to help the new tank have beneficial bacteria immediately so you don't have to wait for it to cycle.

Board game designer and aquarium hobbyist here. Awesome to hear that I'm not the only one with these two hobbies. Love your videos!

Kentucky says hello y'all. I saved this unique video. Partly because I had to view it without sound so I didn't wake up my Husband. I appreciate your visual description. It worked out well for me and those who are hearing impaired would still be able to learn from you Matt. Have a blessed day my friend.

If you leave the center substrate holder off, you can sink a small sponge filter. It would actively pull the water through the roots on the way to the filter.

For those of us with brown (aquatic) thumbs, this has the potential to be a real game changer. I truly hope this takes off and becomes available to the average hobbyist. Thank you for taking a chance and sharing this build. Very exciting🙂

Wow wasn’t expecting them to look that good but those look insane, very interesting and can see these being utilised in even very advanced aquascaping

Hasn't it! Makes it so much more accessible

I love the fact that you can move your plants to another tank without really upsetting them at all, great idea, much nicer than terracotta pots, especially for bare bottom tanks.

It's set up like a strawberry planter. I'm surprised how good it looks, and really interested in how much easier it'll make scaping.

@FishShopMatt

Yeah it made scaping so so easy!

Man watching guys like you and MD setting up tanks with what seems like an endless supply of any and every plant in the hobby makes a regular aqaurists like myself really jealous. But i do love watching. These towers seem really intriguing.

Looks like a game changer from starting a new scape, to modifying an existing scape, to maintaining a scape!!! Just brilliant product!!! ❤❤❤

Matt, that is EPIC for smaller aquariiums. The opportunities for rescaping are endless and so simple! I do hope we are able to get them in the US. Happy Saturday .

I was thinking the same thing. Or maybe one that goes straight across the back for a "plant wall".

Although I have not been able to keep fish tanks for many years, even I am excited by this innovative product. Wishing Dave and Habistax all the success!

I was honestly a bit sceptical at first since I tend to prefer the more "natural" looking tanks but honestly I'm Impressed! it looks awesome.

Oh my, what a freaking awesome product!! So want one, or two, or three

This is realy a great invention!!! And I am a Scaper for over 40 years.

great video Matt, that Habistax product looks awesome, will be supporting the dude making it!

Very, very good idea. Just hoping it will reach the market soon.

This would be great for a bowl aquarium. Especially one that would be viewed from all sides

No words, my jaws is on the floor! Great product for any level scaper.

Agreed!

what a fabulous idea. so much less aqua soil and so many possibilities. Well done

Matt, I’m a Brit currently living in NZ, have kept fish for nearly 50 years yet only just, in the past 2 years, got into aquascaping thanks to you and MD…..and it’s going well. When I saw this Habistax product, I was blown away! What a great invention. I went straight over to the Kickstarter page and made an early bird pledge to support Dave in his venture. Without you urging or recommending others to support in Kickstarters, is there anything else you ( and maybe MD too?) can do to give this product more exposure. As in your video, it adds a number of new, fascinating aspects to Fishkeeping. Well done for making the video! Keep up the good work!

This product is a great innovation for the aquarium hobby, but I'm thinking to take it a step further. Add a sponge filter concept, where debris is drawn in and trapped around the plant roots. The air tube could be where the aquasoil is kept, and then put the aquasoil where there's currently dead space. As long as it was full of plants, it's theoretically a sponge filter that never would need cleaning.

The Habistax is AMAZING!!!

TBH I was skeptical at first.. I mean ugly black plastic in a tank?... but then after you planted them and added sand/hardscape, I WAS CONVINCED! Tons of practical applications for it. I've actually seen farmers a few years back growing plants vertical without soil and only coconut hairy thing and liquid ferts. Time to bring it to our hobby! cheers!

Such a clever idea. It allows you to create hight without having to use five bags of substrate or heavy rocks

i think i really need this. my plants grow everywhere and this is like a decluttering shelving unit for plants. it would make cleaning the tank so much faster

The good thing about these is you can move them.Fantastic!!

Hello from Missouri. As a cichlid keeper i can attest to the frustrating nature of trying to keep live plants in their habitat. Every single day I look to see what they dug up and thus need to be replanted, I agree that these can be a game changer. Great job Matt. I hope these get fully funded!

Extremely simple idea but it solves a lot of issues.

Need to get Matt to 100k before end of year!

Nice one Matt! A game changer for sure though the traditionalists may not be so enthused...

I absolutely love this. Thank you for sharing.

You are correct, less can definitely, be more. Keep it simple.

Knew /immediately/ I would love how the HabiStax worked! Great build!

Great video Matt. I'm loving the plant towers. They can really take the guess work out of where to put what plants and make it really easy for knowing where and how to put the hardscape. This can really help with the nerve-wracking stress that goes along with scaping your tank. THANK YOU!!!!

Absolutely agree and thank you!

It's yet another new approach to 'scaping and will be very popular. I suspect it might develop over time with different modules to just 'towers'. The ease by which these can be moved around within the tank or from tank to tank is very exciting.

That is an inspirational new system. I can think of so many things to do with them. Kudos to the inventor! Thanks for showing us!!! ❤

Would be cool if you put submersible lights into them..

Hey Matt, push the hob to the other end of the tank then use the tall tower to hide the filter return. Keep up the good content.

Very unique and intriguing might have to give one ago my self 🤔

@FishShopMatt

Yeah I'm really impressed by it.

First thought was they needed air stones to promote water circulation. Second thought was it would be great for shrimp. Third was just moss on top for egg scatterers, and the tube area (without gravel) would provide a great hiding and feeding area for any babies.

Love this planter idea

That’s so freaking cool!!!! I am in for sure!

Ok Matt you definitely did a great job with the Habistax. I didn't get it before but that looks great. Thank you for sharing 😊

i like this. Dreaming about some kind of huge vase with this in the middle and a bunch of shrimp.

Amazing!!!

Been having a similar aesthetic in my favorite aquascape for year,😊 I used bamboo-reed roll-up curtain as underwater partition wall (as two larger fish weren’t getting along) , I planted it full on both sides. It looks amazing. Small fish just swim though it (as every other reed is removed). Habistax makes building such towering look (up &above water) easy, even with plants that need to reach the soil. 👍 Agree with other comments that a flat back wall option would also be cool addition & that empty open top middle can also be a place for sponge filter (or makes a natural baby fish sanctuary). ❤ Would buy one (or 6😂) for sure.

such a clever idea. shame they aren't available yet

Matt, that planted tank concept makes it look professional and cohesive even for someone like me who struggles with designing a planted tank. I am going to try it. I have 5-40 gallon fish tanks in my home office. Thank you for thinking outside the box. Actually, watching you work on this before putting it in the tank is also handicap-able.
