I have a 16 gallon biocube with a built in 18 watt 10000k light fixture that I have running 10 hours a day

would that be considered low light set up?

trying to find a tall plant that I can put in the back

I have tried both anacharis and bacopa which I thought would do ok with this light but they start withering and losing leaves and polluting the water so I had to take them out

right now I have some anubias that have been there for over 2 months and do quite well, in fact two small ones in front are clipped from a big stem that was growing up

I was thinking about adding a marimo moss ball but I'm not sure that my light can support it

when I set up my tank I mixed gravel with eco-complete so that I could put some plants in there

basically my question is is my light enough to grow any plants?
 
I have grown anubias in extremely low light, that is what I would reccomend
