Growing seedlings in a 10 gal. aquarium

Hello,

I have two questions of a similar nature.  One is that I broke the glass in
one
side of a 10 gal. aquarium and I was wondering if I could set it up to 
propogate seeds and grow seedlings indoors.  I have a flourescent light on the
tank.  I would use peat pots and set a palet in the tank keeping it watered
and plant seeds.  Would this work and what else do I need to do?

I also have a 20 gal. aquarium out on the patio with a northern exposure.  It
doesn't get much sun and it has now a 3 to 4 inches of old aquatic plants 
which stay wet and provides virtual bog conditions.  Could I do some sort of
bog garden where the soil doesn't necessarily drain well?  What type of dwarf
plants might I consider?
