Mabuhay!

I am on-leave from office work so got nothing else to do so i tinkered my planted tank. I put the floating plants on the left side to give way to the red-colored plants for it to receive long and full power of the sun. Some of the plants have become lethargic because its still adjusting with its new spot in the aquarium...i am hoping that it will get back up soon.

I am trying a number of plants as foreground or cover plant. Actually, i got this idea from another forumer, he used wisteria as foreground, so i said to myself, there's nothing wrong with trying it. I am really having difficulty growing HCs or Glossos since most my tanks belong on low-medi

i transferred my long and narrow fern here. Actually the fern was given to me by a friend...thank you so much friend.

my simple DIY-CO2

I am open to suggestions/critiques whatever...hehehhee

2 pcs-T5 10,000k (55watts each)

or

3 pcs-T5 10,000k (55watts each)

Mabuhay!

Finally, i was able to find the batteries of my digicam and i was so excited i took some pictures of my planted tanks eventhough its already very very dark.
I swear, i was never successful rearing the so-called "red bacopa", reinecki and green/red cabombas in my 25g but here in my 75g it looks like survivors and the red bacopa is now sporting big leaves but more compact and an orange color. My problem is how to trim the red bacopa, i am really scared anyone who would like to share their experiences with this plant? TIA

These is the other half of my 75g, its filled with low-light plants. And i am really awed by the power of the sun although this side its not always hit directly i can see that they are pearling Is it a good sign?

My 25g after a little pruning, i added a tenellus (is it correct?)

Challenge/s:
My 75g is sun-fed and i've noticed that the plants are in their "sleep" state when night time comes because most the leaves are "closed". is it harmful to plants if i turn the lights on at night? i do this because i want to look at it after i get home from work.

TIA for any response.

Pictures i took these morning

Enjoy!
