Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll start with Anubias and Java Fern and maybe add some Frogbit later. Appreciate the help.

True, but they can get huge. Make sure your tank's got the space, or you'll be trimming a lot.

One more thing, if you go with Anubias, watch for algae on the leaves. Low flow can sometimes mean less circulation, so algae might become a problem. A few Amano shrimp can help keep it clean.
