Alot of my new plants have not rooted and seem to break and float on the surface. I am quite demoralized. Everyday I come home to plants on the surface of my tank. I put in the supposed "super gravel" (Flourite) at $50 a bag and it seems to have no affect whatsoever. My plants dont even hold.

My ambulia and Ludwigia have both seemed to rot at the stem and uprooted, what do I do? Do I cut the rotten piece off and plant some leaves to anchor them down?

One individual stem of Ludwigia has almost gone completely yellow :(

My individual stems of Hygrophillia show small root growth are also uprooting.

My tanks pH is at about 7, i dose Excel everyday and Flourish once a week. 24W x 2 T5 HO on for 9 Hours a day

I just cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I have tried so hard and am failing miserably.

On a positive note my anubia nana looks extremely healthy as do my amazon swords. My Baby Tears also seems to be growing.

What am I doing wrong?
