[nycfatcow]

Before i make any purchase i have a noob questions...
plants that come in pots or stringed together with a piece of metal or what not.... do i take those off if my tank have substrate on the bottom?

Yes, I remove all that stuff around the roots of the plant. Be careful to not damage more roots than you have to.
