Plants Float Will Not Sink

[times99]

hi have the fake plastic plants in my 20 galloon tank, may sound stupid but i find it hard to keep the plants from staying on the bottom of the tank, i cover the base of the plants with gravel and some still rise to the top any suggestions, can i tie something to the bottom of the plantbase to make sure they stay at the bottom it is a pain after cleaing the tank having to rearrange the tank and find it difficult to make the plants stay at the bottom. any suggestions thanks?

Your LFS should have a thing called plant weights. At my lfs they had some that are a small strip of metal. It bends easily. I think they're made of lead. You get some of those. They're usually like a dozen for about two dollars. Get some of those and wrap them around the base of the plant. Then it should stay submerged.

I use a rock, tie it up with an elastic and it works like a charm.
