It exploded from a measly 10" to this massive weed after i killed the brown algea and added a co2 system...
 
LMBB, to anchor it, don't use the lead, but rather, just scoop out a bunch of the gravel where you want the plant. Place the plant down, and spread the roots out as much as possible. Then put the substrate back, and pat it down somewhat firm.
 
my cichlids love to dig in the dirt, and i have a 3"sand base to play with, what i do i dig a crator(as close to th bottom as i can), place my plant where i want it, place a fertilizer stick or two in the base of the roots, then i cut i piece of pvc pipe cover it with hot glue and rocks and press it into the sand than burry the whole thing back up with sand, i dont have to worry about vaccuming besause of there is over 1500gph of current so the food goes right into the filter.
 
HAHA, wow, I've always read how those plants get huge and are tankbusters, but have never actually seen a larger one. It looks pretty nice.
