I've got this plant, a non-rooting plant... not sure what it is, got an inch
by accident, introduced the fish I got it with, and 2 weeks later it was a
foot long, floating on top... I buried it, it was 2 foot a week later, cut
it in half, repeated this process for 4 months now, and I've got 14 or so
peices of this plant, that just reaches the top in days...

It sends out what look to be roots, but aren't... runners? but they never
settle into the flourite...

I may end up looking at something different....

thanks for your help....

No, they are made not to rust.

what would it do? What I have is 100% pure lead... can I use it?

I wouldn't. Some people have no problems with it, others report problems.
Why do you need to use weights anyways? Plants tend to do better without
the
weights, when planted in the substrate. If they have roots, I like to
trim
them so there's only about 1" of roots before I plant, so the excess
doesn't
get bunched up and rot. New roots will grow quickly. If they are
cuttings,
cut about 1/2" or so off the bottom right before you plant to encourage
new
roots to grow. If the plants float up, keep replanting and in a few days
there should be enough roots to hold the plants down for good. In
closing,
just be a little patient and you shouldn't need any weights.
