Watched a few videos of this young man that's pretty knowledgeable but this one I wanted to share.
House Plants That Do Well For the Aquarium

I know him he's a good bloke. Probably the best fish youtuber there is. Isn't just mass producing crappy "top 5 fish for your 10g" stuff but produces some actual quality content
Nice video, and great insight at such a young age.
Terrestrials are some of my go to nitrate sponges, a lot of the same ones used in the video
.Philidondrom above and below
Deiffenbacia below, about 5 ft tall
Dieffenbachia roots in the tank.
Dieffenbachia stem, the PVC near it is 1" schedule 80 (if I remember right)
Monstera below with roots in the sump.
Umbrella plant (Papyrus) also works, but the root ball can get out of control, I had it in a 125 gal sump, and the ball took up a 3rd of the tank.
After the roots overwhelmed the tank, it was moved the Papyrus to where the washing machine drains in the yard, and is now about 6 ft tall.
Great for soaking up water, in a swale where water collects
Works great in ponds, although in the most of US needs to be brought in for the winter
Directly below, a couple Mangrove saplings
Below Papyrus and elephant ear in the pond in Milwaukee (during summer of course)
