om...
I have recently setup a 125 gal tank I'd had in storage for quite a while.
I never kept plants in it before. Somehow, over the years, the original 1
tube hood/light cover got ruined. I build a new, flip top out of plywood.

Have you seen the prices on 6' long high-output systems? I'd have to take
a
mortgage out to finance my hobby? So, I'm putting in more generic lighting
and will get about 1 to 1.5 watts per gallon.

I'd like to plant the tank for some of the healthier properties of having
live plants in an aquarium provide. What species of plants could live in
such a low-light environment? Here are a few of the species that I THINK
might work. Can I get your input?

Anubias barteri - Yes, and try Nana, smaller, and finer leaves
cryptocoryne crispatula - yes, but needs iron I think
cryptocoryne wendtii - it'll grow ok, more light, it'll be a weed...
vallisneria asiatica ??
hygrophilia polysperma ??
Java fern - Very nice in low light..
Java moss ??
sagitaria subulata ??

Thanks,
Todd
