Throw in the word "organic" and it's probably already here.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday bagging alder cones, catappas and rooibos to bring with me to the NEC event in March. I use all of them in my Altum angel tank. I also put two of my sub-adult F1 H. contradens into that tank about four years ago. Unfortunately, I lost one a few weeks ago. but it wasn't the water quality at fault.

it looks like you are off to a great start with that tank as a planted tank
the light levels should be fine to grow a fairly wide range of plants, I have 2x 54w t5 lights over a 450L tank and I am able to grow a wide variety of plants under that light yours should be capable of improving on that range.
I notice you have a bubble ramp for co2 in the corner of the tank, could you give a few details of the setup you are using?
