what re some plants that are lo maintnence and easy to keep without too much requirements?
 
Java fern, Anubias, Amazon Swords are the first to pop into my mind.
I think ludwegia is easy as well but I'm not sure.
Java moss is easy to care for but can sometimes get out of control and take over the tank :)
 
Dwarf sag. Jungle val. Cabomba. Sessiflora are all i can think of
 
hornwort , amazon swords, java moss, java fern, moneywort, dwarf sagittaria, crypts, anubias, water sprite, duckweed, frog bit, tiger lotus, Aponogeton, Natans, Bolbitis, Blyxa Japonica, Blyxa auberti, Aponogeton,  Vallisneria. these are the low light plants
 
how tall does moneywort get?   will it work in a low light sand bottom tank?
 
Hey I have moneywort in sand right now! Does just fine! Growth is obviously slowed a bit due to lower light but not bad. It's still green and lush. I would say most plants get to around 10 inches. Maybe some higher! Also look up pennywort! similar but different.  
 
Btw I love aponegeton. You buy bulbs that are cheap, like 5 for $3. They grow fast and make nice plants! mine grew stalks and had 3 flowers on the surface of the water! This was all in a low tech tank!
