so its not really a aquatic plant. anyone have any suggestions on what plants i should get. i want to start off with a carpet or foreground plants, any ideas?

Is this for the eclipse tank with only 1 wpg?

If so you will be limited to low light plants like java fern, java moss, crypts, and anubias plants. You can also go here and search for low light plants, you may find a few stems that will grow ok for you.

If your tank is indeed a low light tank, dont feel bad. "Low light" seems to translate to ugly or inadequate to most people. This is simply not true.
Alot of the low light plants are easy to grow, easy to find, and hard to kill. And the best thing about keeping a low light tank is that it is simple and usually cheap to maintain. That is unless you want to go high tech.
I enjoy the simplicity in keeping a low light tank. I add some aquatic fertalizer once a week and just sit back and watch the plants grow. Some of the more timid fish actually enjoy the 1wpg of a lowlight tank, it makes them feel more secure.
