Hey everyone................I purchased 5 bundles of Wisteria and 5 bundles of Anacharis on Wednesday for my 55 gal. I have a Coralife 130 watt Compact Fl. lighting system.

Every morning when I wake up, there are a bunch of leaves stuck to my filter. I take them off, and the next morning, a bunch are back. Is this normal?

My Wisteria also looks like it has a bunch of shoots or new leaves starting from the very bottom and growing along the gravel. Should I let them stay like this, or should I trim and replant them? I want it to take over the tank basically.

My Anacharis is doing okayish. I have 4 bundles planted, and 1 I'm letting just float. I have 2 HOB filters, and they make the anacharis constantly move. Is this okay, or should it just be in one spot?

Anyways, I'm just wanting to know the best ways to get these 2 plants to grow really fast and take over the tank. You guys have the most amazing looking tanks with all of these beautiful plants!
 
You don`t want to disturb the wysteria roots they need to get established.Give them a month.Once the plants get heathy the leaves should not break off that much.Are you adding ferts with the water change?

Any plant with >hydro> the name along with wysteria is weed and can double in size every 1-2 months without co2.
