the flow should be fine. Keep in mind, as with reefs, too much light will cause plants to loose colour...so will too much LOL. Plants that grow along the bottom usually require more light, but you can get some java moss to spread (although it usually goes on driftwood...) There's something (think it was called dwarf sword or something) that looks like grass. I've had good success with that

I returned the desk lamp and picked up a coralife 2x9w 6700k pc fixture. It's still too small but it works better than the desk lamp. I have to figure out how to get the light a little higher up off the tank.
I also picked up my shrimp. I got two orange bee shrimp and a cherry red shrimp. I'll get a pic up when they are in their new home.

The orange bee looks to be a bamboo/flower shrimp. Very cool. They're filter feeders. I used to have 4 in a 10 gallon tank and they would stand atop the driftwood (very similar to the one you have actually) and face towards the output of the HOB filter. Get about 3 inches..I had one that was nearly 4 though...

I'm going to look on Albertaaquatica for some plants. Thats where I got my inspiration. I started a similar thread there called 5G planted nano. Check it out if you like.
