Default planted 15 gallon checklist

okay, i'm planning out a planted 15 gallon. here's what i've got:

-20 lbs of eco-complete substrate. I may mix some plain black gravel in with it, as 20 pounds is not enough for proper substrate depth in a 15 gallon. sound good?

-i will be ordering flourish and flourish excel as i have heard very good things about them. can anyone give me info on flourish trace for trace minerals?

-the lighting on the top, i have no idea what it is. it's a fluorescent, 24" all-glass aquariums brand bulb. it came with the hood. does anyone have any experience with these: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...87&pcatid=3787
zoo med's tropic sun bulbs? would these be good for plants?

-i have some plants that are already thriving. 2 anubias barteri, 2 amazon swords [one is a baby, but the other is way outgrowing the tank, so i'll be getting rid of it] and some bunched cabomba and ludwigia which are just floating for the time being. do these sound compatible with what i've got planned?

thanks in advance! i appreciate it.
