Good Emersed plants?
Posted: Mar 31, 2006 2:04 am
Hi all,
I'm VERY new to the world of plants. I only have a small plant (i have no idea what it is, i bought it at home depot) thats doing great, its on my desk in my room.
Anyways, my question is, i have a large aquarium, 180g 6' X 2' X 2', with a 60g sump running beside it. I would like to know what commonly available plants (i live in Vancouver BC), would work well in this application.
Some background info.
-The substrate will be lava rock,
-the lighting will be something along these lines
http://www.bigalsonline.ca/catalog/prod ... 843;pcid2=
-there will be no direct sunlight hitting the plant.
There will be high water flow ~700gph going through the substrate. I don't know what information to include to help, but let me know if i didn't provide anything important.
