    was thinking of having some low requirement semi-aquatic stem plants to tie on the wood so that the tank can look something like a riparium..

    How do you attached the Dw on top?
    If you have plants on the woods,
    the plants at the bottom of the tank will get less light because the plants on top will block the light from passing through to the tank....so you need to have low requirement light plant for the bottom part of the tank.
    And is your light suspended or sitting on the tank?
    If it is suspended thats great..
    if not then you need plants that do not grow tall pass your lights or you can remove some of the tank water to 3/4 full so that the plants have room to grow tall.

    I use those suction "rings" or just hang them there haha
    i want to put stem plants there and let them grow up wards and maybe over my balcony wall.. so they wont block much light to my tank.
    my light is sitting on the tank (told you over text before~)
