Chris thanks. These plants came in small pots with just sponge around the
stem and held in place with with wire. No roots or growing medium was in
the pot.

The plants are just not happy and are going down hill, and since I dont
have any sand or soil in the acquarium at all, I felt that the roots needed
something 'more natural' to give them some nutrition.

flourescent tube

Just one? Wattage? Only thing I know that will grow with a standard 15 watt
fluorescent tube is java fern. Everything else takes a lot more
power/light. ~ jan
