I have one of these to use as an emersed planter:
I want to use quite small plants e.g. u. graminifolia, mc, mini hairgrass and I was wondering what the best thing to grow them in would be - obviously the root structure is a lot smaller than big emersed plants.
I didn't know whether I should use bigger media (lay pebbles?) under something like a thin sheet or foam or capillary matting - or just blocks of foam in the first place. I want to extend the planting so it goes over the lip and down to the tank water line - I was thinking capillary matting? Is that likely to be tank safe?
Any advice?/ideas
