Update Shots Of My Planted Tank

[fiskkeeperpro]

Ill just show some of my tank shots of my 125l after being set up for about 2 1/2 months. Ive got a problem with different types of algae, some is hair (kind of looks like cheato algae for those of you with marine tanks) and some other brown algae (there is a pic).

The current stock is:

1 platy
8 cardinal tetras
3 rummynose tetras
3 harlequin rasboras
4 bronze cories
1 albino rainbow shark (not aggressive at all)

im hoping to get
3 rummynose tetras
3 harlequins
a pair of rams

I'm going to be trimming down today so thats why the pics are a little messy, its amazing how much growth i get in 2 weeks (well i think it is)

Please tell me how i can improve it. My lighting is the juwel nature and daylight t5 tube (28 watts each) and i dose tetraplantamin and i use a hydor fermentation set for my CO2.

And again

My favourite fish by far in the tank

Tiger lilly? There used to be about 10 stalks but ive had to cut them down so ther eis only 1 now. Should i keep the stalks?

2 of my cories, these are the 2 that are always rubbing each other and seperate from the group and stay together, could they be a pair?

The brown algae i was talking about further up in the post

Please share your views, i would like any critisism to make my tank better.

Thanks

Will

Lovely tank. Very jungley.
Proof to others that the Juwel t5 bulbs that are supplied with the high-light, are fit for the job.
Algae is mostly likely from low/unstable CO2. Luckily you have lots of fast growing plants in there to prevent the algae from getting much worse. However, one fermentation device on a 125litre tank isn't enough and will likely result in low/unstable levels of CO2. To improve, get another fermenter, or better yet, get a pressurized system. I garuntee you won't look back with a pressurized system. They are the bee's knees.
You could also get some Easy Life Easy Carbo. It's an effective liquid carbon supplement that will help in addition to CO2 injection.
