I never clip the immersed growth off I just let it wither away as the new foliage grows in. It always takes my plants more time when clipped. The dead leaves will also promote growth of detritus worms and daphnia, I only ever remove 20 percent as they natural fall off. Gravel is also more ideal for swords because it can cycle waste faster and leads to healthier aerated roots. All that said good luck on you’re production journey🫡🫡
