Well, I can't really tell how much land mass you're gonna have, but I can recommend a few low light species I've had good experience with and heard were good...
Anthuriums are often low light loving plants, problem is most of them get big. You could get Anthurium clarinervium small and it may stay small for a little while, but it will outgrow that viv of yours.
Alocasias are awesome for low light. Same problem as the Anthurium though, most available species get huge. Alocasia nebula (guttata), Alocasia "Rugosa" and Alocasia "Black Velvet" are all smaller species. Supposedly Alocasia "Tiffany" stays small, but I'll find out, I've got one on the way.
Begonias do well with lower light too. I know Begonia rajah is supposed to be really good for lower light high humidity. I've had good luck with Strawberry Begonia as well.
Most the Peperomias do well with low light too. At least Peperomia argyreia (Watermelon Peperomia), Peperomia meridana and Peperomia "Silver Edge" I've got experience with and am currently growing them in lower light and they are all doing great.
Philodendron and Pothos are easily obtainable and do great in lower light. I don't think you can even kill these two.
Just make sure you meet the other requirements for the plants and have a good time.
