Hi guys & gals,
I have a 72 gal tank, it is a bow front, its dimensions are that of a 55 gal tank (48X20Xbow)

I have 3x32 watts of fluorescent lighting. I gave medium sized gravel.
I plan to use flourish excel. (NO CO2)
I have choosen these plants
· Microsorium pteropus "Java Fern"
· Anubias Nana
· Echinodorus Barthi "Broadleaf amazon"
· Sagittaria pusilla "Dwarf"
· Sagittaria subulata
· Vallisneria tortifolia "Corkscrew"
· Cryptocoryne wendtii "Green"
· Cryptocoryne Lutea

Do you think the plants will do well in my set up?
If any of the plants are not good, please suggest some thing else in its place.

Thanks J

PS: what are algea balls??
 
From what I've found all your plants except the sagittaria plants are low lights. The sagittaria need medium lighting. Here is a good low light guide:

Also, this is an algae ball:
