On the left is a mixture of red and green Crypto. wendtii as well as a couple Apon. crispus. There is a red lotus that I just clipped behind them that you cant see well.
In the middle is baby tears-I couldnt get the microsword to go so I go this and its do well.
On the right (lower)-Wisteria
On the right (upper)-a giant amazon sword mother plant-Ive got a runner with probably 10 baby plants on it just right of the fake stump. There are also two Crinium bulbs on the far right-look like thick val.
As for lighting-706W of PC lighting 5600K on for 11 hours per day and a pressurized CO2 system with pH controller (green box on wall)
All of the plants you picked except for the baby tears will do well in less light with not such a high tech system if you want to try them.
Your lighting will be fine. Youll need to buy 5400-5600K bulbs though. I have one bulb thats 50/50 to get the blue tint, but the rest are 5600K. If you are just doing the yeast in a coke bottle thing....youll limit yourself on what will grow. I tried that and they blow. Ive seen some 'hitech' DIY CO2 units work fine.
Looks amazing. I have really been getting into planted tanks lately.
Big tanks, lush green and a shoaling small fish work perfectly i notice.
I am doing research on C02 and Lighting at the moment, should be many months of research before I even start planning/preparations.
