the roots are exposed but they are closer to the light. right now i
have a normal 55 gal fluorescent light and two extra 10 gal

i only ask because a few of my favorite plants got up rooted from a
newly installed powerhead, and my fish seem to enjoy them better
there.

thanks

Most plants will probably be OK at the water surface as long as they
get enough light. Some, like water sprite, will actually do better floating
than rooted.
