Hi!

I'm joining this forum to learn more about aquatic plants and to try to find a setup for my 20 gal high. I just installed a Lumen Blaster LED (http://www.aquariumplants.com/LumenBlaster_LED_worlds_most_accurate_LED_for_fre_p/lb02.htm). I'm using the manufacturers hang-on-the-back filter right now that came with the tank and have ordered a CO2 pump (http://www.aquariumplants.com/CarbonDoser_Internal_CO2_Reactor_p/int.htm), as well as substrate and 2 pieces of driftwood + 5 zebra danios and 1 cory. Would like some help picking out relatively easy plants for a beginner that will look nice scaped in my tank! What types of plants should I get? Any input or suggestions on plants, products and where to buy them will be greatly appreciated!!

My pH has stayed pretty high around 7. My fish seem adjusted to this well, but I have looked into a peat filter to help bring it down if it would be better for plants.

Looking forward to learning from everyone here, so glad I found this forum!
