Banana plants are spawning like crazy... but still no visible bananas.. I am now calling this plant "Banana-less Plants"

This is the latest picture, the moss have grown quite a bit, banana plants are all floating on the surface of the water and I am using back the 5 bioballs CO2 reactor.
I just found out that my current CO2 diffusor/reactor is not effective and my helferi is turning brown. I quickly change my CO2 reactor from the current one to the old 5 bioballs connected to a powerhead. By the next day, some of my other plants seems to be bubbling. Hope my helferi will recover from this lack of CO2 condition.
