I love the rock set up! I also agree with Newman on replacing some of the plastic plants :]
Whorled pennywort would be nice, pretty sure you can plant it or just let it float about on the surface (that's what I do) it's a really great one. Almost like miniature lily pads floating around. Again, like Newman said duck weed or hornwort would be nice.

are they very fat long bulbs? or kinda medium sized long bulbs? if theyre medium sized theyre T8 which is better for live plant cuz theyre more efficient. are you leaing to ward live plant matter? or anything natural or recreating your local river habitat or a river habitat?
for the leaves if you intend to use some, regular dried oak leaves are good this time of year, just boil them first then add them to your tank.

Walmart sells a two-pack of GE CFL light bulbs for under $5 that are PERFECT for the type of hood you have. They come in 10W, 13W, 15W and I think 20W versions. Two 10W bulbs for your tank are more than enough (I have the same fixtures on two of my tanks). Make sure you get the ones that say "DAYLIGHT" on the package or they won't be any good for your plants and will just make everything look yellow. They are located in the regular lighting section, NOT the aquarium section (the ones they sell in the aquarium section are overpriced and don't give nearly as broad a spectrum of light...you can buy the two-pack of CFL bulbs for the price you can buy ONE of the fluorescent bulbs in the aquarium section 
).
