need plant advice

[CleverBs]

I need some ideas for my planted tank. I'm looking for it to be heavly planted. Need some ideas for super fast growing plants to be all planted at one time to avoid alge growth. Need some grass looking to use dwarf weed grass but not sure about some taller plants. I have a empty 75gallon with good substrate and 1.44 watt per gallon 67000k bulbs with a t5ho light fixture. I'm going for a low-tech setup first and see how I like it before I get into hi-tack

Java fern, java moss, crypts, anubias, anacharis, pennywort, hornwort, water wisteria, water sprite, hygros, rotala indica/rotundifolia and swords are all some easy growers and don't need that much care to them. Personally the rotala is my favorite, I love the foilage and the red coloration

Some of these plants arent really fast growing are they? I thought hornworth was kinda slow. I need stuff that I can get my tank started off quickly to keep my tank planted 85-90% of the substrate blocked.
To avoid alge bloom

With some good lighting, and maybe a little bit of Flouish Excel, all plants can grow really fast.
