If my tank isnt fully cycled yet do i stiff need to wait to add plants if htey are attached to rocks and float?they wouldnt have any roots to put in the substrate anyways.

Allow your tank to fully cycle first. Ammonia + light generally equals algae outbreak.
For the floating plant thing, try it out and you'll see what I'm talking about... my smaller tanks generally have much more surface movement than my larger ones. The floating plants usually find a place to gather and they usually stay there.

Well im going to get the plants for sure when my tank is ready. Right now my nitrite levels are inbetween .8 and .3.
it seems to be taking to long

I think what he is saying is they get circulated around the tank until they end up in a calmer area (like a corner) or get hung up on something (your filter intake tube, not necessarily the strainer).

If you've ever had duckweed you'll know!

Thats kond of what i thought but i wasnt too sure. Are fertilizers and co2 injections(or what ever those are) expensive?
