What kind of live plants are suitable for a fresh water aquarium?
I have yet to get my aquarium, but I am doing a lot of research on fish so I am prepared. One of the important things left are researching the plants… but i really cant seem to find any helpful information on 100% underwater ones…
Can anybody help me out? :]
Thank you so much!!

this is the place i have gotten all my plants from…….
now what kind of lighting do you have as you need a min of 2 watts per gallon for Moderate light plants…and 3 + watts per gallon for higher light plants….also depending on the plants…how planted and the stock of the tank..you may need to fertilize and may need a CO2 unit
also this is a great site

Why a Water Filtration System?
A home water filtration system has become a practical necessity. Our tap water is contaminated with chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Regulations regarding bottled water are lacking and the plastic is bad for the environment.
For your health, the health of your family and that of the planet, a good in-home water filtration system is the only answer. Any system is probably better than no system at all, but as with anything else, some of them do a better job than others. If you are looking for a new system, here’s what you should be looking for.
Activated Carbon
Activated carbon filters remove chlorine and other chemicals from tap water. It’s like the water filtration system that you use in your fish tank. It keeps the fish healthy, because it removes impurities. It’s kind of funny to think that people are drinking water that could kill a fish.
Chlorine is a disinfectant. The water treatment facilities have to use it to kill bacteria, algae and other living things that inhabit the pipes. Should we be drinking it?
First of all, it tastes bad. Second, it smells bad. Depending on where you live, your bathroom may smell like an indoor swimming pool.
Third, it dries your skin and damages your hair. While most people only think they need a water filtration system for their drinking water, inhaling the fumes from the shower may be even worse for your health than drinking it.
Studies have shown that kids with asthma who swim in indoor swimming pools have more attacks than kids that don’t. Scientists are sure that chlorine fumes are the cause. The EPA allows the chlorine content in drinking water to exceed that found in swimming pools.
So, you shouldn’t drink it, you shouldn’t breathe the fumes and you shouldn’t really shower in it. The only way to get rid of it is with a water filtration system that uses activated carbon. You can get them for the kitchen, the shower or the whole house.
Ion Exchange
Minerals in water are important for our health. But, sometimes there is too much of one mineral, like calcium or copper and not enough of other minerals, like potassium. Ion exchange balances the mineral content, making the water softer and healthier to drink.
Some systems remove all of the minerals from the water, reverse osmosis for example. Some systems use only ion exchange, but that does nothing to remove chemicals. You really need both ion exchange and an activated carbon water filtration system for the healthiest, best tasting drinking water.
Micron Filtration
Micron filtration involves removing microscopic particles from the water. They may be chemical or organic.
For example, a micron water filtration system will remove the living organism known as acanthamoeba, microscopic in size, it is commonly found in fresh water. It can cause infections in cuts and scrapes and other bacteria can live and replicate inside of it. MRSA bacteria, which are resistant to most antibiotics, have been found growing in the acanthamoeba.
All of the Above
For the cleanest, purest, best tasting drinking water, you want a home water filtration system that combines activated carbon filters with ion exchange and micron filtration. Simply put, it’s the safest choice.

Water has the ability to cling slightly to a hard surface, to adhere. This is because water is a polar molecule with hydrogen bonding. This is why sand grains stick together when wet so we can build sand castles. This quality of water moves water up tall trees and holds water in the soil against gravity. If water did not cling to soil rain would simply sink through soil leaving it dry. Colder water, that is more like ice, adheres better because it is denser. Cold increases H2O density so increases capillarity.
Water is a good medium to dissolve polar or charged molecules so it can act as a carrier to move dissolved gases, minerals or organics. This allows trees to move water and dissolved nutrients against gravity in capillary sized vesicles (xylem & phloem).
