I have too much hornwort

[Todd2]

I bought 3 bunches of hornwort recently and it has taken over my tank. The stems are SO long. The stems at the bottom are starting to turn brown and the leaves/needles? are starting to fall off because I guess all the other stems are blocking the light. What should I do? Should I prune a whole bunch and just throw it out. I just don't know what to do with so much hornwort. I have an extra 10g with a hood (15W bulb) Can I fill this up and float the cuttings that I cut in there or plant them.

Don't be afraid to trim it and toss out the excess, or maybe offer some to hobbyists starting out -- small bits of stem will grow and you'll quickly have more than you need again Throw out the dying bits -- new growth will come faster than it recovers.

If you need advice on packaging for shipping, just let me know. I would take some off your hands but my angels seem to think they are tasty.

Lol thats the both of us, you could just feel free to send us some. We will gladly take it off your hands.

Just start chopping off pieces and sell it to your lfs. That's what I do- got $20 store credit last time. I grow hornwort in ponds in my backyard.
