Hi everyone. I'm considering trying to grow emersed plants in my sump. I thought about building a small acrylic platform that would support some small plastic cups full of aquasoil. The idea was to drill holes in the cups so that I could have water flowing through the bottom 1/3-1/4 of the cup, providing moisture to the soil and roots whilst leaving the plant in the open air. Theoretically, the air temperature would be close to the water temp at about 25 celcius and the humidity would be reasonably high due to the enclosed cabinet. Anyone tried anything similar or see a good reason why it wouldn't work? Lighting is still to be decided but there would be plenty of room for it.
