    Hi I am looking for easy to maintain aquarium plants, currently have vallis which grows like weeds and anubias nana. Having a 60L tank with a double Boyu T5 24watt lightning (one blue one white) what are my options to grow low tech plants? And would adding ADA substrate be beneficial for such a setup?

    The light fixture is built into the cover of the tank, so adding more lights would require tinkering with the lid and I would rather not tamper with it.

    Will Brazillian pennywort and Hornwort survive?

    Hornwort will survive, and thrive.
    It will give the Anubias the semi shade that it prefers.

    Let me know if you want some, as I have quite a bit of it.
