Ok so, here's the deal:

My swords are growing nicely, they are quite green and seem to be spreading. However, I underestimated their height, and they are almost 4" tall, and might get taller. Mind you, this is only a 30 gallon tank. I've noticed some stray leaves, and other matter getting stuck in it as well, making it look like a bunch of, for lack of a better description, weeds.

So, my questions looking for opinions is: Should I pull out and toss my micro swords, and not have ground cover, or should I let it keep growing over the tank? I put maybe, $7 into what I have, so it isn't much.

Thanks for any opinions!
