I'm going to be doing a 70 gallon tank with fish smaller than 2". I'm looking to have a fair amount of plants in the tank. Could someone recommend some low-mid light plants for this tank?
Thanks!

foreground - dwarf saggitaria, echinodorus tennellus
driftwood - anubia nana, java moss, java fern
middle- hygrophila difformis
background - sunset hygro, amazon sword, hygrophila corymbosa,
floating - duckweed, water lettuce.
some plants are in mid lighting range so try to get at least 2wpg of compact fluoresent or t5.

can you grow water lettuce from a seed or bulb and then put it in your tank. Like a seed that you buy from a gardening store

I had Water Lettuce before, but it slowly died. I read that they don't like heat so much and I have an all glass hood with the light sitting directly on it. Probably what killed it. I liked it though.
