I have a 125L Rio tank and it looks bare. I have just ordered 10 strands of Anubias off eBay so i'm hoping that will help :)
It cost £2.20 and £0.75 p+p.

Can i have some suggestions for some other plants, i would like them to be quite tall and bushy.

I am hoping to combat the algae aswell :(
 
Will all depend on lighting, what fertilisers you will be using, weather your going the CO2 route etc etc.
 
Anubias are slow growers so try to find some faster growing plants as well to help w/ algae control.
Hornwort grows EXTREMELY fast (had some that grew inches overnight).... and has a really great bushy look to it. It can get messy though if some of it dies so just be warned about that.
 
my bad, i ordered 10 strands of cabomba. i'll look into the Hornwort :p
the cabomba came today, and it kinda looks better. just need some variation in plant types, i thought one type would work but it looks boring!
 
java fern can look good if attached to something like bogwood. doent need much light either
