For the lighting you posted (80 watts over 60 gallons), you will be limited to the plants you can grow. The Vals will need more light than you have. The hygrophila polysperma is illegal to buy or sell in most of the US (I believe everywhere in the US). You will want to stick with low light plants light Java fern, Java Moss, Crypts, and anacharis unless you upgrade your lighting to at least 130 watts.
