Anyone try one of these planters yet?

We have small pots in our wtf tank rather than planting since it obviously makes cleaning easier and we didn't do an entire false bottom/drainage deal either. So we picked up one of these corner pieces. Looks pretty cool and does have holes for drainage too. Just wondering how they worked out for anyone.

I have something similar. I carved a hole into a turtle dock and siliconed it to seal it. Then poked a couple of holes through it for drainage. The hole I carved was a pretty big and deep hole...just make sure you have enough room for roots. Take a look at my photo album for my fire belly tank and you'll see the turtle dock on the left with the plant in it. It works really well.

Is that a pumice stone planter? I bought one for my friend's beardie tank. He wasted to put some succulents in but the beardie kept ploughing them over. It totally worked. I have yet to try them in my frog vivs though. I have a viv builder who make faux rocks so that's what's normally in my tanks. I would suspect they'd work great though. I found them which in vacation in my home town at a tiny nursery. Sadly I didn't buy one for myself.

I'm not sure what its made out of. My gf planted it, and its a tight fit.

If it's very light, pours, and rough I'll bet it's pumice stone. I was thinking some mosses might be able to take hold of one well if the tank was humid enough.
