Hey everyone,
So, I rescaped my 80 gallon tank about a week or two ago because I can never stop messing with it. My Italian val wasn't doing that great where it was, so I tried something drastically different.

This is a low-tech setup, I dose Excel daily, Flourish comp once a week, and I am trying Flourish Iron and Potassium on alternating days. Plants are doing well, when my barbs aren't eating them. But, as I figured would happen, I am having algae problems on the sword leaves. I figure it is from them being bunched together. Would a circulation pump help, and if so, what size should I get??
Substrate is play sand and gravel, filter is one Fluval 406, and light is the Fluval Planted Light (not the 2.0).
