i just bought the marineland "single bright led lighting system" for my ten gallon tank. im wondering what light requirement plants i can keep with it.
it has a whole bunch of 60 watt LED's and says it puts out 300 lumens.
it doesnt say anything else.

That's a very low light fixture. I would hope it could keep ferns and mosses, maybe a few other things. There's no real reason not to plan an interesting tank with them. Just go with the basics. An anubias might be okay. Unless somebody else who has a planted tank with that fixture chimes in I'd stick with trying those. You did miss a few decimal points on the watts.
 
i already have ferns and anubias. and oh well they werent really expensive and look nice
 
Here it is with the new lights. I also love the moonlights.
