    I'm also very new to planted tanks but i think you need fan to lower the water temperture if not your plants will grow well too. And how's your plants growing?
    Happy planting

    Not sure about e.ten or the red plant being low tech/maint, believe the light requirement for Echindorius. T is medium.

    The mosses should be fine in a low tech, low light tank. E. tennellus will get by as well, albeit at a slow pace and may take some time to fill up the space. Lotus may not be such a good option as it might start throwing out floating leaves to reach for light. But, the main issue might be APP. My experience with APP has been that they are light and nutrient hungry, so may not do so well in a relatively simple set-up. You may want to try some cryptocoryne. These plants then to be able to adapt to a low tech environment without much difficulty.

    do not do to others what you will not want done to you!

    be kind! =)
