Also take the fake plants out as they will hurt your water quality.
What kind of fertilizer did you get? Does the light fixture have more than 1 bulb? If so, it might be wise to take one out until you have more plants and a CO2/fert routine.

The only type that our local store had was Florapride. Is it any good and if not what should I look for? Where does everyone get their plants from? We have a Petco and a stand alone fish and neither one every has any anacharis and if they do it will only be one bunch. What is that plant that you have as your avatar it is a really nice looking plant? Is it a good starter plant?
Thanks,
