The right hand side has JBL substrate with a gravel cap the left hand side is gravel with sand underneath as my wife had a change of plan
I have various plants not sure of all the names.
Fish: Zebra danios, plates, guppies, otos, cardinal tetras with various shrimp and snails

I’m getting BBA algae in the middle part of my tank which looking at my pumps could be a low flow issue not sure if to upgrade the filter and run everything off the filter then add a powerhead or just add the powerhead. Currently spot dosing with liquid carbon
