Well working on the below plants to stock my planted tank or two as im trying to work these tanks with my flowerhorn setups. Anyway, any idea on aquascaping of these plants or suggestions are greatly appreciated 163.gif My selections are based on plants requiring minimal light as i will be keeping the lights on minimally

Holy crap Ken. Looks like you're getting serious.
I could of sent you a buttload of glossos and Ranalisma rostrata.
Your glosso looks like they are the emerse form so that would take a while before they become submerged.
The R. rostrata are the smallest swords you can ever find.
Some of those plants you will need fertilizer and CO2.
Especially the glosso, you will need strong light for them to make good carpet other wise they will just grow upward and will got grab the bottom.

Dan, I think some green swords, anubas, and ferns will be good low light plants.
But they would treat you better if you dose a little excel for carbon and some nutrients.
Anything red would require lots of light.

When you say low light, how many wpg are you talking about?
The light color spectrum is also important too. Go with 5500K to 6700K.
But then a good relector can make a big difference.

That would be fine for low light plants.
Do it like Ken, plant all at the same time.
That way you will minimize algae problems.
Algae is a bitch
