Re-thinking my biotopes

ok well i have a S. American 75 gal and i have my DP tank... up to this point I have not worries about the plants being from those regions, but i think i want to move the plants around to better reflect the natural habitats...

here is how it looks right now...

75 gal S. American Tank
Plants
Java Moss: Vesicularia dubyana
Christmas Moss: Fontinalis antipyretica
Stargrass: Heteranthera zosterifolia
Aponogeton undulatus
Ambulia: Limnophila aquatica
Carolina Fanwort: Cabomba carolina
1 Jungle Val: Vallisneria americana
1 Oriental Sword Echinodorus macrophyllus
2 Amazon Sword: Echinodorus amazonicus
1 Rubin Sword: Echinodorus 'rubin'
Narrow Leaf Chain Sword: Echinodorus tenellus
Four Leaf Clover: Marsilea crenata
Primrose: Ludwigia repens
Wisteria: Hygrophila difformis
Rotala rotundifolia
Hygrophila polysperma v. Sunset
Hygrophila polysperma v. Ceylon

10 gal DP tank

Plants

So.... i think i need to move...

Java Moss: Vesicularia dubyana
Christmas Moss: Fontinalis antipyretica
Wisteria: Hygrophila difformis
Rotala rotundifolia
Hygrophila polysperma v. Sunset
Hygrophila polysperma v. Ceylon
Four Leaf Clover: Marsilea crenata (I know "technically" Australia, but the Chain swords are over running it in the 75)

and to the 75 gal S. American tank...
Myriophyllum mattogrossense
Carolina Fanwort: Cabomba carolina
1 Oriental Sword: Echinodorus macrophyllus
2 Amazon Sword: Echinodorus amazonicus
Narrow Leaf Chain Sword: Echinodorus tenellus
Primrose: Ludwigia repens
Bacopa caroliniana

thanks!

now i just hope that the plants in the 10 grow, i am using two screw-in u-shaped CF bulbs. 20 watts... i could not find a k-# on them, but the light is kind of yellow-greenish, not convinced they are a good plant wavelength...
