What am I doing wrong?

Well I have a 55gal. with sand substrate. I have 4 albino cories, 10 har. rasboras, a bristlenose pleco and two baby angelfish. I have a couple of little plants that a friend gave me and also a medium clump of java moss. Anyways my little plants keep comming out of the sand (prob. because of my pleco) and its kinda making me mad. Also I don't really see any growth at all. I have only one side of the tank planted with lights over it. I have 2X55watt. 6500k CFL. over the planted side. Like I said I don't see much growth, its only been a week but I figured with these lights they would grow good. The tank was just recently moved and the sand is completely new. The java moss is starting to get white fuzz all over it and the roots of the plants that are exposed from being disturbed are getting white fuzz. I have a pressurized CO2 system but I'm having a hard time getting it setup. I just bought a washer for it today but it doesn't fit of corse. Plus I don't really think my solenoid is working right. Anyways...does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!

Yea I could do the pebbles thing. I'm not sure what the plants are. I know I have java moss, some water sprite, and wisteria. The other things I'm not sure about. One looks like a java fern but a little bit of a leaf is turning yellowish. The water is still not completely clear so maybe that doesnt help?

hmm....maybe mine will grow. The plants that I did get from a friend were little plants that wrere floating in her planted tank. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not...I mean the plants have like 3 or 4 little leaves each.

Thanks guys, I just figure the Bristlenose pleco because she swims around the tank like shes in a race or something. I just have pool filter sand and I'm getting a back case os green spot algae. I maybe getting 3 Nerite snails from another member on here so hopefully they will take care of it. I have noticed that when the plants get up rooted that it looks like their roots have grown some but as far as actual plant growth I don't see any in some plants and very little in others. I can try to post pics but with my camera the white sand really screws up the pic.

Also my tank water is still cloudy. I can see through the tank by looking through the sides but its still got that haze to it. I've done alot of water changes and I guess it keeps getting better but not much. My fish are looking like they are breathing hard. I put a air pump in the water just in case they need more oxygen. If my fish can't hand the oxygen levels now, how will they handle when I get my CO2 started? Its really only my two baby angels and my dwarf gourami that are gasping. Everybody else seems fine.

Plus my angels won't come out into the open water of the tank. They keep hiding behind the driftwood. I love them because they are a beautiful zebra color and one is a veil, but they wont come out so I can see them. It might be because the light is to bright for them. Or they are just scared from all the action in the tank. IDK. Thanks!
