I would do this:

 - remove all decoration except for maybe one piece of drift wood

 - fill the think with goobs of plants such that the bottom has no open spaces

 - keep the plants that take

 - replace plants that die with more plants (of the types that take)

Viola--you have a tank filled with real plants.  I've gotten
about a 90% success rate with two well setup tanks; ymmv.
