Grass plants/crazy idea?




I am about to order some type of short grass plants for a 60G. I want to do
two different ones in patches on opposite sides of the tank. I am thinking
maybe Pygmy Swords and Dwarf Sag. Since I don't want to have one take over
the whole tank I wondered if I couldn't bury a fence in the substrate to
contain the roots?  Like you edge flower beds with to keep the grass out. I
was thinking of using either thin acrylic or Plexiglas and forming in to a
curve. Maybe a little silicone to hold it in place. Making sure it was on
the bottom glass and JUST under the surface so it wouldn't show. Also
thought about sheet plastic. (I am starting from scratch on this tank) Just
laying a strip on the bottom and then put in the substrate and trim to
suit.

Has anyone done anything like this idea or foresee a problem here? I know
that I can trim but his is a deep tank and I just about need a snorkel now
to work at the back of tank. :-)

Thanks in Advance!!

When we try to imagine what God is like we must of necessity use 
that-which-is-not-God as raw material for our minds to work on:
hence whatever we visualize God to be, He is not, for we have 
constructed our image out of that which He has made and what He
has made is not God
