hello everyone,
my last thread kinda got derailed and talked about my parameters. but anyways my tank was over run with algae.
I've got 110 watts of light now with pressurized co2 with the mineralized top soil, topped with pool filter sand.
i want to try and keep the plants low maintenance the wisteria i had in there before just took off. has anyone else ever had a carpet of wisteria? ha ha
i'm open to pretty much any plants
i was thinking of a carpet of glosso in the front maybe?
 
Some swords, Like Amazom sword. Vals spiral corkscrew val.
With the glosso they like high light and co2 with a ph range to 5.0 - 7.0
There are many plants out there so if you do research you will find some AWESOME plants.
Oh and one more seggustion, Anubias ;)
 
No carpet of wisteria, but I've had a tank stuffed with water sprite, a close relative. It grows like a weed with some decent light and a lot of nitrates.

Amazon swords will get too big for a 55g. I'd recommend ambulia, but I'm not sure if it's legal in Florida. Telanthera is a nice plant. It's red and it doesn't require a ton of light.
