has anyone found a hang on pot similar to these, that actually fits on a tank???

I've been buying these for a while now, I like the pot size & shape, but the clips don't fit my tanks... most of my tanks are late 70's early to middle 80's & have the plastic trim edge that has a ridge on the inside ( I imagine that originally there were plastic covers that fit these tanks, & that's probably why there is a ridge inside, though I think it helps keep things like snails, from climbing out of the tanks... I end up making my own clips for these, by drilling 2 - 1/8 holes, & bending a short piece of stainless wire into a hook... it took a few tries to get it just right, but they work good now... just seems like there must must be one similar that wouldn't require customization...

Amazom shows several other products with the same purpose. SOome are similar and some different. Scroll down on the product page then scroll right.

This one might be a little more versatile in mounting options.

Failing that, this looks a lot like the showering accessories caddy my wife installed. It is white but may come in other colors. It has large suction cups and though it does move around a little, a couple 16oz bottles of shampoo plus other stuff is a lot heavier than a few emergent plants.

Sorry, part of my post got messed up. Here is another with more mounting options. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C65CXPY...=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM&th=1

thanks for the replies... I think I've tried the last one listed above as well, even though they have several changeable clips, I didn't find any that worked on my tanks, from that set... I did try the suction cups as well, & they do hold them on the tank, but not securely enough for areas I work from, where they may get bumped during feeding or other maintenance... & if they fall into the tanks, they spill the ceramic filter media I use in the pots, on to the substrate... and of course that almost never matches the substrate, so at some point I'm trying to pick out the individual pieces....

I have one old 60's era standard sized 55 gallon that uses the thick glass & has no center support, that has 14 of the hang on pots along the back side of that tank... on that particular tank, my main work area, is from one end, though I can get at it from the top, as well, but once the 14 Pothos vines get mature, it's going to be a jungle from the top... in that case, the suction cups would have likely been fine, but I already made the stainless wire clips for them, so no reason to switch now...

I got mine from Etsy. Works on the rim of my 125 gallon.
