Not all sags seem to do so well emersed: the dwarf sag (often sold as S. teres, though seemingly S. demersa) hasn't grown well emersed for me.

BGA?
Muhahaha!
Easy, 3 day blackout.
Or, dissolve a EM tablet in a 500ml solution and spray it or pour the solution, or crumble a pill near the area infested.
You have a solution.
Sag's have quite different emergent forms vs submersed forms, I do not think they would do so well with this method. While swords do this also, they and Crypts are more adaptable.
I recently did this method with Crypt "green gecko" and it works very nicely.
