- Tank (1) is a 180g with UV sterilizer and 6' Salt water t5 HO light + Moonlight LEDs
- Tank (2) is a 40g with UV sterilizer and 3' t8 Double Fixture
Bare bottom Leaves limited plant options.

I have awesome driftwood at the bottom of each tank.
My Question is:
Could I attach plants like Anubias, Java Fern, and Java Moss to the driftwood?

Simply attach them and leave roots free-floating?
Lastly, what mineral supplements will I need to keep them healthy?
 
IMO attaching Java Fern, Anubias is a excellent idea:) Nitrate's will nourish the plants , but if you choose adding other suppliments for the plants would be ok . BTW I personally have my anubias plant attached to a stone bought it that way , also attached java fern to drift wood , and a stone doing well:) Java Fern, and Anubias will also do well in low light.

Awesome that they will grow without substrate!
Any other plants like Bamboo etc?

Does anyone know if the HO saltwater t5 will be too much for freshwater plants?
