Patience. The leafs will die off, but dont move it, don't disturb it, its just stressed, soon the plant will adapt and the roots will make new healthy leafs. Mine died before it boomed ;)

WOW!!!

The new layout is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

You have some very nice fish in there too! The Brichardis are one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE FISH!!! The Vet my wife works for has a 45g with a breeding colony in it, and I plan on getting some of the babies and growing them out for a tank similar to this of my own!!! They have quite a bit of yellow in them!

Those cups you have in the tank are COOL!!! What type are they, and where did you get them? Also is that a mixture of substrates?

Again you have done a AWESOME JOB on this, and all of your tanks!!! Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!

The cups I got at a thrift store, 30 cents each and the substrate is play sand/aragonite/white beach sand
