Removing all hair algae from plants being moved

[Hemali]

Hi,

I have some red root floaters, spangles, and frogbit that I want to move from my 10 gallon to my 55 gallon, but my 10 gallons infested with hair algae. Is there any way I can 100% insure the hair algaes dead on the plant before moving some of them to my 55gallon? Also, I have a bit of surface disturbance from a spray bar in my 55gallon, are there any floating plants that would thrive in that? I need some good plants to absorb nitrates since my tap water reads at 20<.

What if I take the floating plants and put them in a seprate cup filled with tank water with an over dose of flourish excel or easy carbon for about 2 or 3 days?10 gallon10 gallon floating plantssuface disturbance in 55gallon. Theres a floating leaf to show movement.

I don't know of a way to get rid of hair algae completely but you could try to hand pick out every bit of hair algae you see. I think that any of the floaters would do fine with that flow. It doesn't seem to be a fast current tank.

Frogbit does the best for me when there's enough splashing to get the leaves of floating plants wet.
