I know folks who have set up bog plant filters, and I intend to do the same at some point. Emergent plants may be more efficient nitrogen removers, because they are not limited by the low availability of CO2 and O2 in the water.
Your plant appears to be a species of Zantedeschia. In the US they are called calla lilies.

This is way beyond my experience level, but its a great idea. Nice design, too! I know what plants I would put in there...psssssss..cough...cough..pass it
so it looks like an awesome idea, but I wold get rid of the siphon pipes in the sump. just seems like one more thing that can go wrong that you don't need if you redesign the baffles.
