I stopped trying cause I was not successful. Only my Amazon sword is doing well, other wise everything else is growing emersed with wet feet. Cryptocoryne, Anubias, Eleocharis

yeah... if you want to see plants growing inches in a week, use a presurized co2 system. ofcourse, then you need to start fertilizng the water column with fertilizers; potassium nitrate, potassium sulfate, and then monopotassium phosphate. i can give you levels on this if you decide to do it...or alternatively you can use a specialty aquarium soil designed to grow plants in the presence of additional co2 like nothing you have ever seen in your aquarium, and then there is a decreased need to fertilize the water column.

macro shrimp shots
these are cherry shrimp on a real living lawn of underwater plants. the shrimp are about dime sized and breed easily in freshwater. neat little things, and really fun to photo.
