This is my humble setup and I'm looking for a list of "mini" sized or small plants that is available for my setup.
I currently have a carpeted HC, Japanese hair grass, staugoryne repens, tiger lotus and jungle vals.
I want to replace the tiger lotus and the jungle vals and don't mind having plants on rocks too but not looking at moss.
Tried looking online but the photos just don't justify its size or didn't have size info for it.
It's great if I can get a list of recommendations.
Thank you in advance guys!

Hi Gareth, the one in the center is from Ikea. The other two bought from LFS Aquarium.
Brand: Fourteen Bucephalandra

I use a phillips 1400 lumen led light bulb. I'd say the bulb is a medium light source compared to the other two which is 2 to 3 times brighter. And it can grow plants provided your tank height is below 40cm.

Since it's a led, you could look for the equivalent wattage measurement to the traditional bulbs usually printed on the packaging.
Then follow the WPL guide then get the right bulb according to your plants need.

May i know what kind of stones are you using?
Don't think LED can be use for generalizing wattage per litre. The more up to date measurement is PAR.
For LED setup, a suitable light set with dimmer would be fine. If too bright, just adjust.
TA brothers has a review for Chihiros A series with the led wattage and PAR equivalent. You can use it as a gauge for similar light set with SMD5730/5630 LED bulbs (0.33 wattage).
Seriyu rocks, grey rocks...they have different names but seem to be the same to me.
Same thought on that, Thanks Goalkeeper.

Nice scape! suggest to remove the big stone in the front. an open space there would be nicer.
Thank you! Will try to rescape.
My intended scape:
I'm just worried if I remove the big rock, it will cause a huge "landslide".
Should I remove the sand also? So it'll be all soil. Atm the sand are below my soil at some parts since it caved in and I also have problems removing them from the tank.
