yea bro! i aimed the rainbar into the water already.. and what kind of plants should i invest for the front? i tried the carpet like plant before but it keeps floating up.. i dont know what is that plant though..but very cheap like 5cm by 5cm is like $2. or $3?

depends on the algae you are encountering bro. ottos dun really tackle all algae. yamatos or malayano shrimps can make some short work of the algae. other methods can include dosing excel to reduce the algae but not recommended if your main inhabitants is shrimps

for foreground plants, theres tons of them. HC, glosso, marsilea hirsuta, UG etc etc. but they need decent - high light and co2 for proper growth.

other methods is include a wavemaker, or aim your outlet to potential deadspot areas, where there may be build up of detritus

A full algae crew would prob consist of some snails (horned nerite or ramshorn or zebra nerite), ottos, yamatos, maybe an SAE.
