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

I've had luck with Amazon Swords in my low flow setup. They're big, so they need space, but they're chill with the flow. Just gotta feed 'em root tabs now and then.
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.
