Does anybody know any info on planting these? Would the grow in a 55 gallon tank with 3-4" of sand? My lights are raised, they wont be a problem running into them? Is it doable?
Here is the tank they are going in, id start by planting them on the back right corner where the words are currently:

thanks, i plan on getting the dwarf variety that only grows 2-3ft instead of 6-9ft. but im curious on how to get them to grow at this depth without rotting before they reach the open air?

also, my heart is not set on only cattails, but thats all could think of. can anybody think of a better plant that would grow from the bottom of an aquarium and protrude through the surface . . . . reeds maybe? rice plants?

thanks for the reply. i already have some swords, but im looking for something that will prorude more then a foot out of the water. at my cabin there are these reads that protrude 5-6ft out of the water, and their base can be anywhere from .5ft-5ft deep it seems. i think it is illegal for me to take them however.

could papyrus be trimmed and grow under 240watts and could it grow at the depth of a 55g(2ft i believe?)? they have it at a local linders, but the pots are huge, how big is their root base?

as far as tulle reeds go, i googled them and didnt get much info on them, i have the same questions as above on them, and also where they can be found/bought?
