DOOA WABI-KUSA Hanger 170

DOOA WABI-KUSA Hanger 170 (Large) — SKU 152-206

An extended stainless steel hanger designed for tall aquariums or paludariums where you need to suspend Wabi-Kusa balls higher above the waterline. The H170 mm height positions emergent plants well into the upper zones of deep tanks, ideal for creating layered plant compositions.

Key Features:

• Height: 170 mm (extended profile)
• Material: Stainless steel (rust-proof, long-lasting)
• Design: Hook-over-rim style; no tools required
• Load Capacity: Supports Wabi-Kusa balls up to approximately 200–250 g

Applications:

• Tall aquariums (40+ cm water depth)
• DOOA Neo Glass AIR W20×D20×H35 cm and W30×D30×H45 cm
• Large paludariums with significant emergent space
• Creating canopy-level plant zones in layered aquascapes

How It Works:

The hanger hooks over the aquarium rim and extends 170 mm downward, positioning the Wabi-Kusa ball high in the tank—often 10–20 cm above the waterline. This creates a dramatic emergent effect where roots hang freely in the humid air before eventually reaching the water surface. Perfect for plants that prefer drier emergent conditions or for creating visual layers in tall displays.

Setup Instructions:

1. Prepare a robust Wabi-Kusa ball (larger balls work best at this height to maintain proportion)

2. Hook the hanger over the aquarium rim

3. Place the Wabi-Kusa ball on the hanger platform

4. Roots will hang downward—they may take several weeks to reach the water depending on starting length

5. Mist frequently with DOOA WABI-KUSA Mist until roots establish water contact

Plant Suggestions:

• Larger Anubias species (A. barteri var. barteri, A. congensis)
• Bucephalandra (larger varieties)
• Ferns with trailing roots (Bolbitis, Microsorum)
• Epiphytic orchids (miniature species that tolerate high humidity)
