remove as much of the sponge as you can and re-plant.

The sponge really isn't dangerous per-say. it just makes it harder for the plants to grow.

I kind of did an experiment with me amazon swords, with 1 I got nearly all the sponge out and with the other the roots were so grown into it that it was hard to get any out. Guess which one grew faster? The one without the sponge lol.

Thanks everyone for your answers! I really appreciate. It helped me a lot. I do my water changes on wednesdays so I'll put the plants in then. Wish me luck cuz I don't really have a green thumb. Haha!

So today's the day. I've finished my water changes and installed my new plant in my tank! It's PRETTY! My first real plant. Lol! I'll post pics soon!

There you go. Maybe one day I'll have only planted tanks.
