My Aquascaper 900 and associated equipment, lights, Co2 etc should be arriving on Monday.
I thought now would be a good time to start looking at what plants to add to the system.
I will be creating a jungle island aquascape with water on the soft side and South American fish.
I will be using lots of river wood and Leopard stone around edges of the island to separate the Tropica soil from the open areas of Kivu sand.
I would like to try and grow a carpet of Elatine hydropiper towards the edges of the island and in between the stones.
I really like Eriocaulon cinereum and would like some as a midground plant.
I intend to tie or glue lots of mosses, possibly java moss to the vertical wood with some very small broader leaved plants also attached to the wood.
I would also like some delicate small fern-like plants.
Could I please get some suggestions for other foreground/midground/background plants that would be suitable in this setup?
Many thanks.
