I have tried multiple times to have live plants in this tank with zero success. I am however a glutton for punishment and keep trying. Val is half the size that it was when put in tank. Micro sword all but gone. Hopeful for the dwarf hair grass. Seems to be holding strong after 4 days.

That coral looks healthy. That might be why the plants aren't doing well they don't like the salt content. :ROFL:
Remove the plants from the pots and wool and they will do much better. The roots need to be able to spread out

Lol. That one snuck in there. Every time I have taken plants out of the pot the cichlids have uprooted them. I was hoping the fish might get used to the plants on the tank and then remove the pots.
