loose the bubbler, change the backround of your tank to all black, remove the corkscrew vals(they look unnatural), and add LOTS of fast growing stems such as hygro to start your tank. Tell us all of the specs of your tanks from lighting to substrate and everything inbetween. It is important to do it right from the begining to avoid the hasle of changing things later on, ie your substrate. The more fast growing stems you start with the better you will have at fighting off your initial algae battle, and believe me it becomes a war. A war I am still fighting a year and a half in the making. My current battle is fuzz algae (ahhhhhhh)...
