HELP, figure hijack before make a new one with same issue.

I got some Crypt W off a dude on another forum, they are great, however I think some of them are "melting" as in they are clear and their stalks near the base are fraying apart like a piece of wet soggy nasty cheap rope.

Is this melting? what can be done? do I trim off the clear part and let it regrow?

what about the roots being disturbed? I did just have them shipped in last friday they grew in his tank, he removed them, shipped them to me, I got em out, didnt dip them just put them into a 5gallon sauce pot with cool water in there. I did remove quite a few plants because I planted them all and only the crpyts and the moneywart needed to be planted.

My lighting sucks AGA( all glass) claims to be a 8500K bulb but its only 15w on a 26g, I am fabbing my own light bar to hold 4 bulbs, 2 day CFL's and two night bulbs for viewing and uv's

Thanks.
