Well, when I said that I was thinking about re-starting fresh, what I meant, was that I would replace everything. Over the summer, I took all of my clippings of my plants and just stuck them into a planter outside and I now have an overflowing container of emerged plants in my house(it started getting cold). I was thinking of taking everything out, bleaching the hardware, and replacing everything, but I really don't want to b/c I'd need to wait longer to put some fish into the tank.
So I guess its up to an algae eater and excel. How many amano's would you think I need? I think that shrimp would be the only animal I could use because it's only a 20 gallon and I want a pair of rams and not too many other fish (I don't care for overstocked tanks).
In the meantime, I think I'll heavily prune the infected moss and use some excel.
Thanks for your help,
