If i had an algae problem i'd gladly take my plants suffering to cure it. They'll just grow back in a matter of weeks. If you discover the cause of the algae and rectify, then you shouldnt have to do this process again

Another option is to wrap tin foil strips around the tube at various intervals. You can cover as much or as little as you like to lower light levels

Im confused?? Your algae problem was cured so it worked right?
Plants will grow back again, just trim them and wait a little

You mention a dark blue test on the phosphates....
From my time when i used to test i know thats the upper limits of that test. This tells me you already have plenty of phosphate.
So the more likely cause is flow. Maybe the nutrients are not being circulated well enough.

Multiplying very nicely! Run out of space to replant cuttings now. Crypts bushy and lush. Balansae very slow going but doing ok. Anubias all recovered now and no algae

Cant go wrong with crypts for low light!
When was the last time you cleaned the tank and performed a water change? Out of curiosity

Any excess will show up white once under water. I use it very carefully. The plant will hide the glue eventually. Also by the time the glue fails the plant has rooted firmly onto wood or stone so its no issue. Super glue 'gel' is the best stuff
