All,
I placed a post not so long back. but due to hack it was lost.
So here it is again.
I would like to have a good list of plants that are in the following groups

Low light still water

Medium light slow moving water

High light brisk moving water

What woods are good or bad?
what wood raises acid?
what wood lowers acid?

Is there any plants that i need to stay away?

the pressure at the bottom will be around 1.7 bar
 
Here is a good guide to many plants, sortable by light requirements.

Tropica is an excellent place to get plant information, if you know the plant's name.

As far as I know, there aren't any woods that will raise your pH (make the water less "acid").

To tell the truth, I can't remember ever seeing anything discussing aquarium plants and current strength.
 
cool, thanks for that.

So here is my list so far then... i need to find more colurs in the deep

high light and high medium

1. Ludwigia glandulosa or primrose-willow

Sounds like that's going to be one tall tank (~2.2m?).

Distance between light and plant may become a factor (in the "strength" of the light) in a tank that tall. Might want to consider that.
 
The Tank is going to be around 150... Im just waiting to see if i cn get some free bullet proof glass... :D :D
if so i will see the hight of it.
but as light will only penitrate 1.20m and natural light 2m im going to have a rock garden on the bottom and terraces going up the back and topof the tank. with plants at certain levels.

but in the middle the hight will only be around 60cm so some good plants will fit in their.
