So I have 1 15w florescent light lighting a 10 gallon tank. I'm guessing this would put me down as low lighting would it? Or do you need more info?

Yours would be considered low lighting. I've had this setup myself and I easily grew: java ferns, cryptocorynes, anubias, even some hygrophila siamensis 53B.
Funny, it looks so bright to me...
Anyway would java moss work in it or no? Plus my anacharis and aponegeton plant seems to do fine.

Oddly my java fern doesn't seem to like my 10g much. I'm using a 7000k T6 15watt light in the fixture and yeah if I stare at it it does look bright LOL. Now sitting next to my 50g with 80 watts of light it doesn't look all that bright really. I find in low light tanks different plants are a bit of a hit or miss. In the same 10g I have a crypt wendtii and it is doing fine. Now as far as will the java moss grow for you? To be honest I'm trying java moss for the third time in my 50g aquarium and so far it seems to be holding steady. That is to say it isn't turning brown, but I don't think it has grown much. I haven't tried it in my 10g, but I have heard from others that it should do alright there. I've never tried apons myself, but my big oddity seems to be that anacharis just doesn't seem to want to be in either of my aquariums while others have it growing fine in low light conditions.
