[Scarlet temple taken over by algae?]

P.S> Also you might be able to clip the top 5 inches or so and let the rest regrow.  I have had Crypt Lutea look a lot like that and the Excel worked.

Oh my, so sorry. I have used Seachem Excel and Aqueon's similar liquid carbon product with great affect on black beard algae in the past.  Takes about 4 or 5 days dosing every day.

[Help! Cryptocoryne Wendtii Melting!]

I have had a number of Crypt wendtii melts over the years and mine always came back stronger and lusher.  I hope your do too.

These ideas are brilliant!  I have some red root floaters coming as some as the storms let up and was wondering what I was going to do.  Now I know!

 

Thank you all!

I am loving your channel and now the forum.  Got here from Bentley Pascoe's YT channel.  I just enjoy your(and Bentley's) philosophy and approach!  I am still learning SO much.  Currently just starting back on my 29 gallon VERY neglected tank.  I did NOTHING with it for months.  the Anubias and Crypt Lutea grew so thick even my poor platys couldn't swim.  I literally pulled out maybe 2 dozen large beautiful plants just to give some room.  Then I suddenly got the "plant bug" and discovered your channel.  I have never been into using chemicals, as a rule, to get things "perfect".  Firstly because it rarely worked plus I am cheap.  I have found live plants really make a big difference.  Anyway big shout out to you all!
