4x36wPLL in 18inch height tank for java fern, moss and nana?....hehehe..... brown sayur in 2 weeks...guarantee.
with the lighting you have, you could actually go straight for the intermediate plants (semi hard level) .it doesnt mean you are a beginner, you must start with beginner's plant.
infact its better you skip java fern, moss and nana, they are very slow growing plants and they look helplessy monotononous....not much of a moral booster if they still looks the same 4 weeks from now.

try some rapid growing intermediate plants like...Alternanthera Lilacina or Reineckii, Echinodorus Tenellus, Hydrocotlye Verticillata, Limnophila Aromatica ( highly recomended), Rotala Wallichii and Ludwigia Acurata.
this list is the full set...fore, middle and background plants and just right for you lightings
if you want an impressive tank...do not plant too many different species, or else it would look like rojak or ABC. the trick is more of the same plant...max 6 species. do not try to plant closely together in hope of getting an instant result look just like in the magazine. a good setup always looks botak and ugly in the beginging.....but after a few weeks its a different story.

some people have beautifull tanks, some just average, the worst looking tank is for the people who like to rescape their tanks without fail every weekend.
you must learn to HANDS OFF your tank after planting...plan everything ahead , get what you want, get them together before you setup..once done, you leave it alone. the worst possible thing you could do is...going around LFS to hunt for plants during your off days,..buying new plants leads to planting leads to adjusting leads to rescaping leads to disaster. its always best to pool your stuff together before setting up your tank, if you cant find what you want...just put down rm50 as a deposit for the FS to order the plants you have in mind. FIY plants are actually quite easy to get, only that FS will not order for you...i mean who knows if you are serious or not...what if you dont collect when what you odered arrived, so 50 bucks is a clear cut sight that you will be back. if there is a delay for a certain plant and the rest cant wait, just make sure you leave some space in your setup....when they finally arrive its just about planting them at their given spot. everything will fall in nicely ...if you have planned early



here is some photos to show the botak look of a new setup to the fully grown tank in 8 weeks

a week after planting...ugly ugly...never mind the initial botak looks. there should be no shortcuts or instant sucess ready for the camera kinda planted tank...this the "downfall" you must learn to avoid.


week 3...the emerger plants has already turn submerge, from here they will grow rapidly


8 weeks...as of this week. and frankly such setup will last about 14 weeks...past that they need to be replant, and here is the time and chance for rescape if you want to.in fact i have already order the plants for my next project 4 weeks from now.....20 pots of Ludwigia Glandulosa. some say this an easy plant, some say its a roadside ditch plant, to me this is a jinx plant, i get very little sucess with them and i have yet to meet a person who would swear this species is actually easy to turn submerge before the stem rots
