Anthurium Gracilis

[d-prime]

The roots originally came all wrapped up in sphagnum, and were really long. The way I mounted it was by clustering the root mass, which consisted of brown, softer roots that were then tucked into a crevice in the background.
This morning 2 more leaves turned yellow. I'm worried now, especially since I have been a super cheap and have been using regular compact florescant bulbs, so the shade issue can't be a problem. Should I maybe remove it, cut off all the dead roots and replant it?

I also wanted to understand the exact reason and explination to how the yellow leaves form. Something to do with photosynthesis no doubt, meaning that maybe the plant has another underlying issue?

Brown, softer roots are dead roots
Were there any whitish roots at all?
