I'm having some trouble keeping plants going under my spray bar which is submerged. I need suggestions on current tolerant plants. I hadn't had any problems until I cleaned my cannister :oops:. Now my plants are suffering the wrath of Eheim LOL!
 
Anubias is the best assuming they are attached to some object. Many hardier stem plants will grow upwards despite current, though. (L. repens effectively does but R. rotundifolia doesn't, for example.)
 
Mine is submerged and I have anacharis "waving" in the current with no problem. I also have a couple of L. repens that are not suffering any ill effects (except one, which bent downward and is now growing upwards again).
