So I have a 20 regular and I have a large piece of driftwood with narrow java fern and anubias nana tied to it. I'm trying to find some easy background plants to add that can be planted in gravel and don't require much light or added co2. Any ideasImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1420268757.905657.jpg

I would advise saggiteria subulata. It's pretty hardy and looks great.
 
I was gonna suggest Cryptocoyne balansae. It might grow in gravel with Root tabs. I've grown C wendtii in gravel. Balansae grows nice and tall in my tanks.

Or maybe Ludwigia repens.

Ludwigia is a pain to maintain in a 20 I got rid of mine

Just trim it regularly, like weekly, and you should be fine with ludwigia! Bacopa is also lovely, sword plants, vallisneria.. The possibilities are endless :D

Also I'm thinking of adding some java moss on the top left of the drift wood but hear it is extremely fast grower and will over run the tank. Any suggestions

Wysteria is really hardy and doesn't need much light but it might take over your whole tank
