I've bought some new plants for my aquarium but now I have a question about plant planning.

I've set the plants in appropriate areas of the aquarium (away from the heater, in the stream of the filter if they like aggitation etc.) but I was wondering if they like to be planted near bogwood. Sounds like a silly question, but won't the bogwood block light from the leaves very close to it?

Additionally, should I remove the elastic and metal weight at the bottom of the plant? (or should I wait until they grow a few roots?) or just leave it on forever?

:D

the plastic i wouldnt worry about to much, but I would take out the metal weights when the plants have put down some roots. they may leach into the water.
