My cyano is so bad haha. Lowering the lighting duration and adding root fert tabs has made a HUGE difference though

Yah. At first it was pretty. I was like: "Oh how nice! It gives some color to the tank!" Now it's like: "Alright times up. Your life will now be shortened."

Just a question, how do rootabs help? Is it because it's in the substrate rather than in the water column?

Yeah the cyano can’t feed off of it but the plants still get fertilizer

As long as the rhizome is out of the water having the roots under is fine and they can feed from the roots, that’s how mine are

How do you get those stringy roots to stay under the sand??? Their so thin and loose

You can use plant weights which will hold the plants on the substrate. The roots will go into the substrate on their own.
