Can we have a full tank shot?

First plant looks like a ludwigia of some kind, not sure about the 2nd one.

BTW you'll need more than one nutrafin kit to get enough CO2 into the tank to give the plants enough to grow well. I would think you'll need 2 or 3, but you can run more than one into a single ladder.

Those don't look like any aquatic plants I have ever seen, especially the last one. Perhaps they were sold to you as aquatics, but are in fact terrestrial.

I second the above, they don't look aquatic to me either, but I couldn't find a specific plant in my sources. I'd keep a close eye on them.

For your CO2 canister, you probably already know this, but don't use the packets, try a 1/2tsp of yeast and 1/2 cup of sugar with water to about 2cm below the second notch. That gives quite a bit of bubbles. I second adding another and possibly a third canister. I run two successfully on my 36g, but I have less light that you do. I'm at 1.86 WPG.
