How are you diffusing your co2? And why are you running it 24/7? I only run mine for a half hour before lights on and a half hour before lights off...Also get a drop checker so you can more or less know how much co2 you are adding.

Regardless of that though, I think the pics you posted is more from the wisteria transitioning to submerged form still, and the anubias some prior damage. Trim the dying leaves, and give it time.

once you figure out exactly the best way to use that co2, you should be able to grow some really nice stuff in this

I run my c02 in my sump, the tubing fed close to the mouth of my mag drive12 pump, its on 27/4 to balance the flow of c02 since my my tank has an over flow and a sump. I really dont have any problem with all my plants just the wisteria and anubias, your right maybe the wisteria is just transitioning to its submerge form :)
