So i have been doing some research on the Kyoto (mondo grass) and yup its non aquatic. Is there anything similar looking IE grasslike that i can look into for a good foreground?

There's actually a fairly wide variety of mini/dwarf/pymgy chain sword plants that might work, along with d. hairgrass and d. sag. Aquabid is a really good place to look, there's a huge variety available there

You will need good light to get them to carpet though.

Got just under 4 watts per gallon. To my understanding that should be alright right?

4 watts of what kind of lighting? (T12, T8, T5)
How high off the water is the light suspended?
How deep is your tank?
Do you have any floating plants?
