Will Anubias be ok if I remove ALL leaves?

[Bertie]

Hi,
Although I am adding 6ppm of phosphate my Anubias leaves are all affected by GSA. They are all moving in the flow and the co2 is flowing over them nicely (dc is lime green). All other plants and glass,hardware etc is unaffected.

Now if I removed all the affected leaves there would just be the rhizomes left!!
Would they still survive and re-grow new leaf?

Thanks

Remove 50%....Bertie.
Then remove the other 50%...when you see new leaf growth.

You could try wiping the leaves with citric acid then rinsing well, I've read this works for bucephalandras so will maybe work with anubias too.

It will work well..

And I can suggest you to put your anubias on shaded parts of tank to reduce algae

What's the best way to anchor Anubias - substrate or attached to something?

attach to a small rock and than put it on the substrate so anubias can grow it roots long enough to get the nutrients from substrate
