Plants leaves curling down.

Some of my plants in my tank curl their leaves when I turn off the lights and come back to the normal position when the lights are on. Does anyone know if this is normal? Thanks

I have the opposite. When the lights go off my ludwigia species turn their leaves up. Then when the lights come back on they go back to normal. The repens looks nice with all the red undersides showing. It must be reaction to changes in light. Some go up some go down.

Okay, I'll turn the light down 30 mins a day and see if that helps. Thanks for the help! I thought is was due to lack of nutrients in the water :P

Jimmy are the plants the ones you got from me?
If so, interdasting that you mentioned it Vinny. I wondered if this was some side affect from plants being put indoors from outdoor sun.

Hey J, it's not your plants it's the ones i bought before yours. Your plants are doing great and sprouting new growth all the time. Just got myself a Zoo Med T5 HO to help with plant growth. :D
