I am just setting up a large aquarium and have a deep layer of sand on the bottom. I have bought a lot of potted plants and would like to know if I should plant in the pots or without and the reason please. The 2 guys at the shop gave me opposite answers with no real reason so I would be very grateful for some advise from (the ever amazingly helpful) guys ands gals on answer bank!!!!!

Just in the process of doing the same...mine will be an aquarium for plants but with a few fish.

I would personally remove the pot. By keeping the pot in place, you might restrict the growth a bit although they will eventually root through the bottom.

What lighting, filteration, substrate and CO2 are you using. There's a very good forum http://aquatic.uk-life.org.uk/ which will help with many of your questions...there's some good plant experts on there too.
