Beautiful planted tank and excellent pics  

Thank you.
 

Your Tank looks amazing!!
 
I just started my planted tank, learning lots!
 
What plats did you find would propagate the best and can you give me a list of the plants you have already in the tank?
 
Thanks!
Glad your tank is doing soo well

The easiest plants to propagate are stem plants. The reason being is because can control the bushiness wherever you decide to trim it. Also you can place it where ever you want to take root. As for plants like vals which they send runners. It can be cool to watch baby plants grow, but they can be a pain if you don't want that exact placement. Then you have to wait a while so you can "propagate" them off the mother plant. If that makes sense.
This is what I have in tank right now to the best of my knowledge. In order to achieve great growth, My equipment are 96 Watt quad T5 HO - Fluval 206 - and of course ferts. I use Seachem flourish line of products. Excel, Flourish, Iron. And as for water conditioner. I use Flourish's premium line called Premier. Which you can only find them at brick and mortar. It helps produce potassium as its conditioning the water. Hope this helps, Here are the list of plants that I have. And as far I know their names lol
Ludwigia inclinat
Vals Corkscrew
Reineckii

Thank You for the list, i've been shopping for new plants lately and wanted to get some feedback on which was the best type. 
 
I have my tank near a window but I don't have any special plant growing LED light system, so I have to be careful. 
 
Right now its a mix of live and fake plants until I can grow more, I might invest in a better light system one day, lol
