Red Root Floaters

[Monkeypoint]

Has anyone had issues with RRF overtaking their tank or are they relatively easy to manage (compared to duckweed that has been impossible to get rid of).

It certainly wasn't a problem for me.  I bought a handful at the local LFs and distributed it between several tanks.  Within a month or two it was all dead.

They can take over the tank but unlike duckweed they are easy to get rid of - i routinely throw away a large amount during my weekly water change; but since they are a larger plant i could easily remove them from the aquarium. The headache with duckweed is that it is very difficult to remove 100% of it - esp from a larger aquarium - though a good surface current will really dampen it (as well as most floaters).

Not a problem for me. I propagated a lot of red root floaters in my high tech tank a few months ago. After that, I removed them and placed them in my low tech tanks, no problems at all.
