I've done something similar here, with my AR-380. It's still a work in process, but it shows that you can actually grow stuff in small low-light/low-tech setups.

The plants I've got in my AR-380 are (ranked in order of best growers to worst):

Ambulia

Cherry leaf

Various Crypts

Windelov Java fern

Dwarf sagittaria

Normal Java fern

Indian Fern

RE aaron11

It could be that Indian fern is such a rapid grower that it's exhausted it's supply of nutrients, or carbon, or both. So it starts small, with a small appetite, but as it grows so does it's almost exponential requirement for nutrients. It happened with my Java fern, it grew really quickly, then started to slowly die off just as it reached it's prime.

I've heard that you can't put Caboomba and Ambulia together in the same tank, because one will out compete the other and just kill the other off. It's my opinion that Ambulia is better anyways. Oh, and avoid duckweed ;P
