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

    Read my larger post above. Your tank sounds like it’s dying. I’ve been through this exact issue. Low Co2 most likely but without knowing permameters just a guess. Reduce your flow or airflow let the co2 build a bit. Keep a balances nutrient profile and a consistent light schedule. Java ferns rapidly reproduce plantlets when their struggling an dying. If you do these steps quick you can likely save it. I can’t speak for the hair grass though usually any carpet requires co2 or insane amounts of wait time while picking the right type if moss or carpet plants is a must. Its all about balance. You got to find it fast. Or the hobby and tank become a money and time sink.
