hey folks!

I dont do planted tank, but erm, i would like to get advise from u guys about getting plants that are similar to anubias or maybe anubias family that are able to :
- grow their root in sands
- roots submerse in water while stem and leaf are above water
- if possible mininal sunlight required
- preferable wont grow taller than 10 inches
- effective in absorbing nitrates
- hardy
- can withstand pH level of 6 - 7.5

my purpose of the plant is to absorb nitrate as effective as possible..

Some people recommend me pandan leaf..while i am currently testing with some anubias..seems to work fine, but they tend to grow pretty tall..

Any advise and comment are much appreciated!

Cheers mate!

i guess u are referring to duckweed or lemna, they are perfect in absorbing nitrates  biggrin.gif

they come in different shape, size and color too
