I have mine in 2wpg with CO2 and only see a new leaf every week or so. In less light and no CO2, your anubias would probably grow slower. This is a plant that requires a little patience, but will be a quality long term plant. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

The phosphate is important as the high levels will also keep away the green spot algae they are e to.The Co2 will keep away the Brush algae.
