We had a meeting with Karen Shultz. She described a structure that was being used in the Philippines to clean water. It is a system of trays with plants in some of the trays. She also gave us a list of plants that were used  to aid in cleaning the water. She told us that floating leaf plants would be more beneficial to our filter.

 At home, I found a site that gave a list of floating leaf plants:

It is a website for an aquarium store based in Alabama. I am sure that they have out of state orders and the plants are legal to transport. We could also see if we have the plants here.
