Hi everyone!
New to the forums, and new to aquariums in general. You can check up on the progress of things at:

But, I have plant questions. So I wanted to venture out of the newbie forum and over here
So here it goes!
This is my first tank, and I'm considered with the happiness of my future fish. I'd like to do a planted tank, but I need some easy plants to take care of. Should I do a planted tank, or stay with some nice silks?
This is the setup I'm going to have:
20L glass
Coralife T-5 with twin bulbs, one daylight, one acintic (each 28W) on a 14 hour timer (got the tank and lighting for $25!)
Hagen co2 (nice version of DIY)
So I have about 1.2WPG if you don't include the acintic, and I haven't decided if I'm going to keep it yet anyway. (I haven't started cycling yet, so I don't know how it looks. I just bought the lights locally and it came with the acintic.) Should i just do 2 daylight, and have 2.5 WPG? how does that look?
I plan on having a pair of german gold rams as the "centerpeice", so I would like to stay (if i can) with its local plants (central/south america, right?).
What are some plants that are easy to take care of that I could use?
I would like one form of thin bladed grass too(for some aquascaping I have in mind)
And what filter should I use for it, because they said bio-wheel's aren't good for Co2. I can return the penguin I have.
Oh, and one thing i did realize is there is no newbie plant sticky in this forum or the newbie forum.
Thanks!
