I'm going to try and make my 29 gallon a semi to fully planted tank and I want to know what I should get for a VERY low light system. I have a basic flourescent bulb, and thats it. I'm going to have a DIY system to add a little co2 to help out.

So far I have an Ozelot sword, dwarf sag, and an anubias, what else can I put in?

I've got a bunch of lowlight plants that did good with my 29g's origional bulb...I've added a 15w bulb so they're all doing better now The list of what I have is in my profile.

I really reccommend Hornwort...it grows really fast

Anubias will do well for you, and there are different varieties available. I've got A. nana and frazeri, and both are doing great on 1 wpg with no co2. Java fern, Java moss, Algae balls, are other possibilities. Crypts will work if with ferts or a good substrate, and Bolbitis is good also, but it seems to like a current (which might affect the co2 for the others).
