I have the 2 watts of light per gallon for my tank coming in a few days, and I love this plant.
the one in the front spreading

do you think its doable in my tanks, ( see sig) I am not doing co2, I can not at this time change out my HOBs to do another filter, I just spent over 500.00 for lighting, fish and some plants and all the stuff needed to make my tanks better ( glass tops. wood, ferts etc.

Well it kinda looks like HM or HC, but I can't really tell from so far. I'm leaning more towards the HM. Hemianthus Micranthemoides. http://www.tropica.dk/productcard_1.asp?id=048A http://alecto.bittwiddlers.com/fish/Tropica/48a.htm
Hemianthus Callitrichoides "cuba" HC is much smaller in leaf size than HM, so that's why I think it's HM. http://192.38.244.204/article.asp?type=aquaristic&id=621

I'd guess HC. Without CO2 or some kind of carbon supplement, you are in for an algae battle with that light setup. You can't really grow plants without algae if you're not dosing.

I'm guessing HM.
