New Idea or Old Idea

I want to share an idea on what to do with excess stem plants. I had 10 Hygrophila corymbosa left over from planting and decided to let them float. But because I have some water movement, all of them would end up on one side of the tank and stay there.
So I thought a suction cup would be just the thing I need. A type of suction cup that has an enclosed ring like the one's that hold a probe. My local fish store had them and this is what they look like in the tank.

Varkolak,
I been in the fresh water hobby since February this year but have 10 year experience in marine fishkeeping; so I have a good perspective on the maintenance of my aquarium as long as I learn to adapt to fresh water technologies.
And yes I may decide later what to do with my cuttings of the hygrophila corymbosa and place them in my fresh water makeup tank because the nitrate levels over the year are 1 ppm to 5 ppm.
But that remains under experiment at present as I am watching my parameters. I need to see how these plants perform in my main tank.
