I have set up a planted african tank..mind you, its only been up a couple of
months..but they leave alone my amazon sword, crypts, dwarf sag, and the stem
plant I have...not exactly sure what it is...red something or other....

they also leave java fern alone...they seem to eat the java moss quite a bit.

An African cichlid set up. Tap water nitrate runs 90+ so I'm going to try
adding plants at one end. Lighting is 2x55w cf over a 110 show so I need low
light cichlid proof plants. I would like to achieve a 3-tiered effect. Maybe
1 low growing plant in front with two rows behind in a corner - back left of
tank. Area is ~18"x18". Preferably slow growing in front using faster
growing in rear for nitrate consumption. Sound doable?

Any and all help appreciated,

Bill
