Looking for more plants to keep a lid on hair algae! I do water changes, but I think more plants would help.

I really love Cryptocoryne when it starts to "carpet". It looks great and stays short. Also if you are having trouble with algae lowering the light intensity or leaving them on less is the best way to control it IMO.

I might have to check it out! Is that the one that has strings of vertical leaves across the bottom, bright red when exposed to lots of light?
