Howdy,
If you are interested in low light, then a carpeting plant most likely won't work. You need more power for that. Should be doable if you were willing to invest in power compact lights, though - e.g. Coralife Aqualight Freshwater. Bottom line is that CO2 cannot make up for poor lighting.
If you were thinking about a moss that spreads out, then Java moss or Suesswassertang are two great plants what work very well for me, without CO2.
Best of luck,
HarleyK

Thanks, Harley. According to the cart that cardona posted, I have medium lighting. Although, I am thinking about adding another dual T5 strip anyways.
