I am starting to plan out my tank now as I am gathering everything I need for it. My goal is to have DW in middle of a 45 gallon dirted tank with rock caves in the back corner of the tank. I was gonna grow moss on the DW and have some nice plants in mind for BG, MG, and FG. But I am looking for a plant that will flower under water and I am looking for suggestions. I will be capping with Eco Complete and it will have CO2 bottle fed. The stocking will be 3 SA cichlids (either rams or aspistos (2 females and 1 male)), 5 cory cats, 4 otos, and 9 cardinal tetras. I will be getting lamps with CFL's on two sides with 6500K bulbs and the middle lamp will have a 10000K metal halide bulb. The goal with this is to mimic sunrise and sun set with the metal halide on during the "high noon" times. Again, looking for a flowering plan so I can start designing the tank on paper. Thanks!
