Hello! I am looking for some advice on plants that will do well in high level pH and hard water. I have a 20 watt flora glo bulb and gravel substrate in place. I have done some research and found that anubias and java fern would work. Are there some other recommendations? Any information and help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
 
Lighting is going to be more of a problem than your water hardness. You'll have to stick to the lowest light plants to have any chance. Anubias, Java Fern, and Java Moss are your best bets.
 
how hard? my ph is 8 with 12 hardness level. vals love the hard water and the common plants would be fine. there are a few plants that need soft water but they are high light.
