I figure there will be roughly:
dozen stems of cabomba aquatica,
40+ stems rotata rotundifolia,
dozen stems ludwigia arcuata,
a BIG clump of moss (mostly taiwan, but I am sure there is some java and peacock mixed in),
5-6 hygro difformis,
7-8" of needle leaf java fern
a handful of water lettuce
and I'll throw in some small portions fissidens fontanalis and some echinoduris vesuvius too.

Here are a couple pics from the various tanks they will come from that I just took. I will pack and ship monday morning. Paypal only.

I'm in need of some plants....how much do you think they would cover in the tank? Also, what light level are these? I'm not too familiar with plants. Just the ones I have. Thanks.
 
I grow everything under high light, but these are weeds, and most will do well in much less.

The cabomba, moss, java fern and hygro difformis are all really easy and grow under almost any light. The ehinodorus and fissidens are also low light suitable. The rotata rotundifolia tends to get scraggly especially at the bottoms in low light and will sometimes not look that good until it gets close to the surface. I would say that its middle of the road. The arcuata is the same way. Both will be less pink under low light as well, so your new growth may be a little more bland.

How big is your tank and how much light do you have over it? I ask because sometimes there can be confusion between "low light" and "not enough light to grow jack" ha ha.

There's going to be enough plants in this box to make a nice full instant aquascape in a 30" tank. I would not buy it if your tank is smaller than that unless you have friends to share with.
 
I won't ship the apistos- but yeah, I have plenty! C'mon by! I might actually start another thread for them.
 
I have a 55 gallon with pool sand substrate. I'm currently growing some anubias. The lighting in the tank is pretty good. The bulbs are 6500K with a CRI rating of 98.
 
I'll take it if its still available. Interested in your apistos too. You're about an hour and a half from me...so I might be able to pick up.
 
I trimmed and packed today. The java fern sent to another member, but I have added two small red K. bar swords and the moss portion just keeps getting bigger and bigger as I clean out the tanks. Here are pics of some of the plants as I bagged them. That's about half the rotala in the picture, I just have to finish trimming. I hope to mail them out today.
