Ad,I tried a few stems of hc in my little tank about a week ago (they were floating around in main tank after wc),and they're spreading away,might be worth considering.

ye i agree, HC all the way!

Ive got HC in my 11watt 35 litre tank and even though it is starting to spread a little, lack of light is making it go abit leggy. I guess if you are willing to keep on top and trim regulary and replant it could work well under low light.

(Btw i am dosing with TPN dailey and have DIY CO2)

thanks guys, i brought some marsilea, it looks ok, but grows to tall, the little plantlets look like glosso though, i will see how it goes,

HC has also worked well for me, as has marsilea, though mine always stayed with four lobes.
