Paludarium questions


I have a vivarium that I decided to turn into a paludarium and just had a couple questions. First here is a description of the setup.
The tank is a 10g aquarium which has been tipped on it’s side so that the top of the aquarium is now the front. A piece of glass six inches tall, is siliconed to the bottom half of the front and a similar one at the top with a piece in the middle that flips out for access. The top piece has a circle cut out and covered with screen for ventilation. It’s a bit like a homemade version of the exo-terra setups. The back and the left side are covered in cork bark and have branches, bromeliads, creeping fig, and some type of philodendron attached.
The cork bark would reach down into the water about two inches. Do you think it can be partly submerged or do I need to cut it back? Do any of you have a favorite submersible nano filters? I plan to use Java Fern, Java Moss and possibly Anubias since the light will be far from the water. Any other thoughts on easy, low light plants?
Thanks for reading, Kate
