Tony,

I found back when I was growing plants that that Flourite gravel stuff, underneath about an inch of sand was a miracle. this stuff is a bit pricey if I recall, but really changed things for me. I maily grew that tall val stuff (Looks like fat blades of grass) in straight treated tapwater. I also was using an eheim filter, one of the pro series in a 75 gallon. kept mainly africans, not sure if this makes a difference.

Robb

Tony, have you changed the bulbs lately? old bulbs( over a year) caused a major green slime out break in my 90g planted a while back so I changed a few and all returned to normal...
Also I keep hornwort floating in the top to help absorb excess nutrients in the water and it out competes the algae.
I have lots if you wants some!!!
