Need suggestions for high light mid-ground plants, si vous plait

Looking for something cool to go in place of these two crypts (red arrows). They're growing flat as a pancake, due to high light I suppose.





75 gal tank


Pressurized CO2


EI


Light is a four bulb T5HO hydroponic unit, 6" off the surface. Im running one 28w actinic just to cut down the par a little bit. Bulbs are, front to back:


Generic 6500K


Actinic


3000K Plantmax hydroponic


ZooMed Ultra





Front left is P helferi, only a few days old (topfin cultures)





Right side





Looking for plant suggestions that would offer a nice contrast and also work well with my current set-up. Any other thoughts or suggestions are more than welcome.


TIA

 

Ive thought about some blyxia. Not ure it would contrast well enough with the PH, perhaps on the right side though, behind the stauro, which I plan to keep pruned short.


As for the crypt, I may give the red wendtii on the left side more time. Already pruned one round of leaves that was large and more green. It's only been there a couple of months. I'd really like to do something different on the right though.

 

Thanks. That syno is an intriguing plant. I've been thinking about some variety of erio but none really seem tall enough. I have no esp with any of them though, so I could be wrong in that assumption. Probably would've done some blood vomit in place of the compact hygro...and may do that eventually regardless, it's just what I had on hand at the time.


Thanks for the suggestions everyone. keep them coming please

 

Thanks. Yeah Im liking that front most crypt, the one between the fork in the dw. I have tons of that and also the red in another tank. Aside from that one, they just arent doing what I'd like them to do here, so far. This scape is about 9 weeks old. Ive been aggressively pruning all the stems (and the moss) to keep them low and compact....practicing really.
