have noticed over the years that large nice looking plastic plants for aquariums are way way over priced. I have also noticed that plastic plants for home decorating are cheap (look for them on clearance and its even better. I also noticed that the home plastic plants, vines etc tend to be larger. So in the past I have tried some in test aquariums with no ill effects I can see. Has any one else tried any of these plants and with what results. When buying the plants I do try and stay away from the ones that have any kind of waxy coating, perfume/smell, exposed metal, nonplastic pieces etc. Would be interested in what others have tried etc. Thanks
