well a carpet plant like HC or dwarf hair grass.

To answer your question from the other thread RCS will be fine with the sand but the light color will not get them as bright red as say a black or other dark color substrate.

[247Plants]

Microsword or hairgrass.

T8 18watt?
Anubias 'Petite' planted!
I don't know if you could anything to carpet...

18w for HC wouldnt be enough really, plus the lack of co2 would just make it an algae magnet.. I would say the same with microswords

Go with what 247plants suggested hairgrass.

Others could be dward clover, micro E. Tenellus. or even moss

Try dwarf sag (http://www.aquahobby.com/garden/e_subulata.php). I've got it growing in my 1.4 wpg, no CO2 tank. And it's spreading. It's similar in appearance to the pygmy chain sword (http://www.aquahobby.com/garden/e_tenellus.php) but the sword needs bright light and the sag is OK with medium.

You can try dwarf crpyts.---Nevilli, willisii, and parva.

ehhh well u should co2 it would give you more option like i was going to suggest dwarf tear

My crypt. parva looks great, but I wouldn't suggest it as a grass. Mine's grown too high for that. I do suggest you get it though, as it is a very pretty plant. And it grows slowly, with or without CO2.
