Sure, you're welcome.

Generally, i think this plants do not need "chilled waters" to do well. However, it would be common practice by many aquascapers here to at least run a fan to help reduce water temperature so that the plants can do reasonably well.

Most plants do prefer cool waters around 27-28 degrees.

I do think some plants like Tonina sp Belem, HC as being more light demanding to grow well.

As such, your Co2 and ferts input will have to increase with more lights being pumped in your tank, otherwise Mr algae will come visiting soon.

Personally, i think you will need to add more plant mass if possible to this new set-up so as to help the tank mature faster.

Cheers!
