It depends on what kind of plants you wish to plant. Your setup has only 1.8W/g. Recommended is usually 2~3 W/g. So looks like you may have to settle with low light plants. Try increasing more so you have more plant selection.
Here's some good sites to help select plants:
Aquatic Plant Search Engine
Dennerle
Tropica
koah fong
Juggler's tanks
