Egg - I don't think you have too many ferns in there. Staggered along the back it will create a curtain of green. But it is a matter of personal preference.
The root fragments from the water lettuce means it's going through some transition to the conditions in your tank; it may stabilize or go downhill. Under the cfl is should do okay.
I missed it; how deep is the substrate? If it is too shallow then it might explain why the plants won't stay put. The snails in my shrimp tank keep uprooting mine. Once the roots grow in it will be better.
My tanks have been a work in progress. I'm pretty content with them but always willing to try out new plants now and then. Lots of folks have inspiring tanks here and there's always something to learn from them.
