Plant suggestions for 210

[JuiceBox52]

Plotting out the plants for my new 210, we are building the stand for it this weekend. It’s not too much deeper than my previous tanks, so I’m thinking it shouldn’t be an issue to have some low light substrate plants like crypts?

What are your thoughts?

Hard or soft water ? This is one of my overly planted aquariums in very soft water:


one year later:

and when i tore it down a couple of weeks ago one of the plants:

That lid is 30 inches long.

ec 22 ph 5.2

Very soft water I don’t have exact GH and ph offhand but I know it is very soft

A new tank??
And 210 gallons!?
Very curious to see how this will turn out!!

Look into large anubias species. Those are always so beautiful. Tiger lotus as well.

I'd go mostly for ECHINODORUS and CRYPTOCORYNE. You have to be a bit careful with the crypts as some require hard water; but wenditti (I prefer green or green greco and smaller plants include willis (a more hair like plant) as well as beckiti (nice leaves but small); for echinodorus - i'd use them to add some colour - big bear grows very well in soft water. I prefer the deeper ones like hadi red pearl (small plant) and reni. For per green there is bleheri; for a really small plant there is parviflorus and small bear (which can be hard to grow); for large plant with texture there is martii (also known as ruffle sword).

Loll.
If I remember right though, I remember you sending a snap of a large tank being loaded up into a truck/car but there wasn't much context. I didn't at all assume it was yours though, because you always said that you couldn't have an aquarium at all.
I just assumed you were nerding out with me about a large tank you saw
