Plant suggestions?

Are there any nice aquatic plants that can survive in just indirect sunlight?

Depends... indirect sunlight outside, like on the north side of a building, sure. Directly on a window sill, yes. Inside a room, behind windows/curtains and such, maybe not.

Sometimes the best way would be to try it (and then go and buy a light fixture

). Low light plants like Cryptocorynes, Anubias, Java Ferns and mosses are good contenders.

Keep in mind that the beauty of a planted tank is best appreciated in the darkest corner of the room, illuminated by it's lights.
