I think fast growing plants could be an answer. I've been searching for
hornwort, for example, over the last few weeks without any success.
Seems to be hard to get at the moment. What would you suggest? What
plants do you have?

Anacharis is a very fast grower and can easily be propagated to fill a
tank in short order.

I have tried Anacharis and will try again. I need to buy this in large
quantities. A number of fish in my aquarium munch it like candy floss.

Serendipity landed me with a water sprite that hitchhiked on another
plant I bought. I'm going to let it take over the tank. I just have to
work out how to best aquascape an aquarium whose predominant plant
species is water sprite. Time to google.

I use Ludwigia repens; it's my fastest growing plant. Rotala indica
comes second, "Ambula", third. The rest are crypts :-)
