Love the big tanks..wish i could afford one myself but alas..im po..lol.. I recently found some plants i really liked at a local pet store..i guess they were once alive...i reeeeaaallly like them because they move with the flow of water and my fish dont bother them..they come in various colors and sizes also..heres the link.. just an idea.. if you go with these..they come out of the package dried and stiff..a couple of days in the water they will soften up and you will have to agitate them a bit to get them unstuck from themselves.. http://www.amazon.com/Aqua-Green-Medium-Aquarium-Plant/dp/B000BF5GP8 Good luck! :headbang2:
