Kevin: Ideally, number one depth is very important with the aquatic plants, I have position to each of this plants that are still on there containers to approximately one to three inches, the top of he pot below the surface of he water. Any particular order could be up to do the person are particular static taste but I generally group from high to low, from back to front. We have got out parrot’s feather in a four round, which will grow and cascades over the edges the pot with time and we got our underwater oxygenating plants. Little bit of surface coverage was also be achieve with plants such as salvinir or cat’s tongue and of course the well known water hyacinth. The hard part of the deal is done.

The underwater plants and the decorative plants we place and the pre-filter that comes along with the pump also do some biological filtration for this more that enough.
