I know its been done to death, but I have started a very small (3L) NPT in my office at work in front of the window. It has a soil substrate from the back yard, with a small amount of gravel over top. I used Java moss, Anubias, and some banana lillies (going to be a mistake). I know they wont make it in that light, its very indirect and I only got them because they were 2 dollars each. Anyone know of any good low light plants for something like this? Im going in about 2 hours to a VERY good lfs, so let me know. I will post pictures later.

You need something rooted that stays small. Maybe some crypts?

You could increase lighting fairly easily with a desk lamp with one of those screw in fluorescent bulbs.
