Ok so now that I have the equipment, ferts etc taken care of I'm messing around with what plants I want to order and how to lay them out in my tank.

For Reference
20 Gallon Tank
Flourite Substrate
65 watts PC 6700k (Possibly another 15 watts flourescent added)
DIY Co2
Dry Ferts

I plan on ordering plants from aquariumplants.com


Plant List
Ambulia
Myrio Filigree
Dwarf Sag
Rotala Indica
Anubias Nana
Bronze Wendtii
Green Wendtii
Broad Leaf Ludwigia
Red Tiger Lotus

I've attached a very basic drawing of the layout.

I'm looking for any feedback on plant selection or how to arrange them. I'm a newbie so I may have undesireable combinations or placement.

Drawing attached

I might put the bronze wendtii where the anubias nana is, and put the ludwigia in place of the wendtii. And the nana in place of the ludwigia. Looks like a nice layout.

Ambulia is a WEED without co2, you might consider a different stem plant for that area. Its lovely, but it shoots out crazy runners and even with lower light will take over a tank. I had it in a 75g, it took over 1/2 the tank in a months time. Just something to consider.
