I have a 5 ft tank which has 2 full ft of water height. At the moment i have

1 x Amazon Sword
1 x Echindorus (Not sure which it is but its the red and green long leaves)
1 x Echindorus Ozelet
some Java fern
a dwarf type of anubias barteri
and i have just gotten a few Large bits of anubias (Type unknown) that i have cut down due to a Black Brush blanket i couldn't remove

Im after some fast / medium growing plants that will grow 2 ft in height. the Echindorus makes it to about 1 and a bit foot.

the top of my tank is too bare.

I have 2 T5 4 ft 9000K bulbs and 2 x T8 4ft Tropical bulbs total of 58 +58 + 36 + 36 = 188W Tank is roughly 120 G

I have NO co2 at the moment as i just can afford a presure system and the DIY style just seem too unpridictable for my size of tank.

Thanks
 
Hygrophilia, vallis, elodea will reach top, most stem plants will grow very tall and vall can get up to 2 foot, try sloping gravel or buildign it up so you can choose smaller plants that will reach the surface.
