You could epoxy a couple magnets on the side of the wood and silicone a couple magnets to the outside of the tank. Easy to remove and off the bottom.
Hi,
I have root type pieces of wood, and would like to avoid having them rest at the bottom of my tank. Objective is to be able to easily clean all the bottom and avoid having parts of the bottom which are inaccessible.
I thought of somehow having the root type wood come down from the sides. But I am unsure as to how I would hold them from the side and keep them in place without resting at the bottom. Any ideas/suggestions pls?
Thanks!

What a brilliant idea ,never thought about it in that way.
Make sure the magnets are plastic coated or covered in epoxy. Some magnets rust very quick and easily. The other thought is if they are real aggressive like neodymium they could break glass if they snap together too fast.
Great idea thou.

No rust and a nice sizing chart.
you could also use suction cups. figure out some way to mount suction cups to the wood, perhaps even at an angle and suction them to the side of the tank.

ss screws would work

you could also attach them to a piece of pvc pipe, wood, or any thing you can imagine and hang them in the tank like a curtain rod, so the pipe or wood rests on top of the aquarium, with the driftwood hanging in the tank. That way you can easily remove them for cleaning if needed. You could just drill holes in the pipe, and wood, and ziptie them together. You could use 2 or 3 pipes to give the hanging wood more of the look of multiple tree roots. Id organize a small groups of driftwood branches together to look like individual clusters of tree roots.

The pipe itself wouldn’t be attached to anything, it would be the length of the tank so that it rests on the frame of the aquarium.
