[APD] Trimming Saggitaria

["Berne Kairunas" <berne at choiceaquariums_com>]

Hey folks :)

i know saggitaria subulata is a pretty hardy plant, but does anyone 
have expierenc ein how well it stands to being trimmed back.  A friend 
as a stand in one of his tanks that the top 1/3 is fairly infested with 
Black brush algae and was wondering if he could take half (or a lil 
more) off without really harming the plants.  I've never trimmed it 
this way, and would hate to misinform him and have him kill off his 
plants.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions all very welcome.

Thanks a bunch!

PS- just to save some list  space and typing time i only need to know 
if the plant will sustain itself with a mowing type prune.  No need to 
go into other algae removing methods :P
