make a mess when it drops it's "leaves" but I like it. It's great fry cover
and as you say it does suck up nutrients from the water column.

no problem. my plants have been been growing like crazy. I've set my tank
up for two hours of light and c02 per day. I tried to stock with some fast
growing plants like ugly hornwort to out compete the algae. so far so good.
