Well tell me this what type of lighting do you have. Is it flourescent or indacascent? Because if it is flourescent with that much there is a little bit you can grow. However if it is indacascent you might could do some Java fern or Java moss. I have 1.8 watts per gallon in my tank & can grow a lot. Like Giant hygro, all crypts, some swords. Now that isn't a ton of light, but it is a long tank & T-5 flourescent lights.

Ok than yeah it is your standard flourescent either T-8 or T-12 light. What size of tank & everything? You could probally do some Anubias, crytocorynes, java fern, java moss, as well as maybe some hornwort & other mosses.

Yeah for substrate it wouldn't be a bad idea to mix some laterite or something of the such in with your regular gravel. Also if you wanted to take it to the next level you could get a Yeast type C02 injector. Either build one or buy that Hagen one, it's good.
