and the only plants I had that survived at 1.006-1.007 was the bacopa monieri (looked a bit sad though), apogenton crispus, java fern and java moss.
With eco complete under sand and macro and micro ferts.

now that I fluctuate between 1.003 and 1.005 (24degC) I've had the same luck as by_a_coo but I'd also add Crinum Natans, Crinum Calamistratum, saggitaria and hornwort.
Eco complete under sand, macro and micro ferts and liquid carbon.
I'd like to see your tank since we both have 2 F8s and plants in BW. :lol:

I've tried to take loads of photo's of my tank but they always turn out rubbish, either lots of glare or blurry or you can't really see anything at all! I'd love to have a picture as a desktop wallpaper but my photography skills are inept at best!
