Planted hopefully

Ok I have been thinking on what to do with my 10gallon tank as soon as the guppies leave and have decided that I want to try to go planted. My parents wouldn't let me go nano and my dad likes plants so I'm thinking maybe if I do this right I might be able to convince my dad to let me if I tell him he can help me take care of the plants. So what I'm thinking right now is using the internal whisper filter I have right now for a filter, take out the sponge filters and put in a fluval internal filter. Why I want the internal filters is so I can get a glass canopy. I also would get a fully submergable heater. With this in mind I would be able to shut the canopy all the way. I would then get a 15w strip light for the back half of the canopy and a 6w strip light for the front half so I can move it when I need to lift the lid up. Then I plan to get a special substrate for the plants and fertilizers. I don't however plan to use CO2 since I'm not ready for that and with the strip lights I will be getting a little over 2wpg. With that in mind I would pick out some nice plants and a few fish to have a little life in there. Now my real question is do you guys see any problems with this? If not what fish would you recommend.

Thanks

Austin
