Sand Questions

Anubias does not require substrate at all. Low light plants? Vallisneria and Water Sprite grows insanely fast and but both have a rather ineffective root system. Both will root into your substrate and take hold, but they will pull nutrients from the water column. You could also look into Java Fern, like Anubias, it can be attached to driftwood, no substrate or fertilization necessary. Froggy poop will sustain all.

Are those species also effective at removing nitrites from the water and making for a happy little "eco system"

How would they be attached to decoration as opposed to driftwood. It's kind of a pain around here to get it without it being in a tank that has been already filled with fish and lots of tiny little snails. x_x

Rubberbands, black threat, even crazy glue.

Crazy glue on plants to a decoration?! Wouldn't that hurt them? I was planning on using some thread :P
