Looking fir plants with roots.

[fotoudavid]

have a spare tank. 1.5 by 1 feet.

looking to do a half water tank, keep rams. am looking for plants that can fit in with egg crates which will be mounted on side of tank. any recommendation? hope can get those with roots that can spread to lower part of tank and leaves on above water.

reason is trying new set up and also egg crates can cut inner part so can plant different species of plants.

using 11 watts light, ehiem 2213 and gex soil bottom.

sorry not really understand your requirement. Are you looking for plants that can grow on egg crate without soil? The leaf will be out of water, only the root is inside water?

Yes bro you are so correct. Sorry English never pass before.

[fotoudavid]

If I am correct, most plants can do well like that but some plants cannot, like orchid etc.

If not mistaken all those hydroponic vegetable was grown that way, root suspended in rich nutrient water.
