The height of the 40B is 16 inches. Substrate will be eco complete, 3 bags of 20lbs. Which will be about 2 inches and I will be dosing seachem excel for co2. Will one finnex 24/7 be med lighting? Also would downoi, star repens, bacopa caroliniana, alternanthera reineckii "pink", and pygmy chain sword be able to grow? I will also dose ferts.
One finnex Planted plus 24/7 on a 40B?

It would grow all those fine. You may see issues in the A. reinekii though. It's one of the tougher plants and really needs high lighting.

You're looking at medium-high lighting there (around 50-60 PAR). So yes you should grow those pretty well.
I've actually heard that AR isn't too hard to grow and that it will do fine in low-medium light if it's given a good supply of co2. Without pressurized co2 it will probably get algae. Downoi may be a problem also but the rest will be fine.

Ludwigia Repens are much easier. Most of your actually red plants are high light and/or high co2 area.

Ammania gracilis, hygrophila araguia, and hygrophila Polysperma "sunset" or "Rosanervig" are reddish and will tolerate low-medium light. Ammania is most hit or miss from what I hear. Tom Barr likes the araguia and the Hygro poly. Sunset is a weed. Awesome plant.
