Using the lighted aquarium for plants has onne problem that I can foresee
- the lack of ventilation.  However, I can suggest one group of plants to
use and that is the bromeliads and in particular the Cryptanthus, also
called earthstars.  Several species and hybrids are pretty easily
available and the hybrid 'Starlight' is sort of a living light meter; it
will be pink if it's receiving adequate light but loses the pinkness if
the light is too dim.  There are also some very small neoregalia
bromeliads that will do OK in that environment and a few Vrieseas. I can
suggest some mail order dealers for these.

Hi Kenneth.......

I would be interested in any mail order dealers you might be able to suggest.  
I am just starting out and need some catalogs to look thru.

Take care,  Claire
