I upgraded my lights in my 55 gallon to a t5ho/2 bulb fixture. I have eco complete as my substrate, mixed 50/50 with black sand. I do not yet have a Co2 system, so I tried picking out plants that co2 was not 100% necessary. I do have Flourish, Flourish Excel, and Flourish root tabs.

These are the plants that I have picked out. Does any one have any tips, suggestions, or advice?

Background plants:

"Aponogeton crispus" Ruffled Sword
"Cabomba caroliniana" Cabomba
"Echniodorus amazonicus" Amazon Sword
"Vallisneria americana" Corkscrew Val
"Bacopa caroliniana" Blue Water Hyssop

Midground Plants:

"Alternanthera reineckii" Rosaefolia
"Ludwifia ovalis" Oval Ludwigia
"Elodea canadensis" Anacharis

Foreground Plants:

"Lilaeopsis brasiliensis" Micro Sword
"Lobelia cardinalis" Lobelia/ Cardinal Flower
"Pogostemon helferi" Little Star
 
Looks awesome. No advice really- looks like you're carefully planned
