Whoops! Rock wool, not rock moss. I knew the word wasn't right but I couldn't find the right one.
Thanks so much for your advice!
I'll definitely grab some photos later to share, though I may out myself for my poor Amazon sword looking so terrible. And all of my green short filament hair algae growing on everything in sight.
Thanks for the advice! I've read that you can pick the stem plants out and glue them to lava stone, for instance. I've had terrible luck planting them directly into the substrate, I never seem to be able to get the plants to stay. Would a little bit of glue that doesn't seal the bottom of the stem be okay to hold the plants secure in the tank?
I recently bought the co ops easy fert and CO2 products so I'm hoping that will get the algae problem under control, along with reduced lighting.
