I am on day 3 of a blackout in my shrimp tank. I’ll let you know if that killed it tomorrow. The blackout worked for me years ago when I had BGA last.

Yes they will some worse than others. Those that are growing well and are healthy will be fine and really all should bounce back but yes there may be some setback.

Just took the blanket off and it is 100% gone. Almost all of the plants are perfect. Some newly planted hairgrass that was not established died back and a new lily that just started sprouting died back 50%. Nbd. 3 full lighting cycles total blackout.
