A useful algae control that i suggested...-Jason.
Tetra Algae Control™ liquid is highly effective against green water (algae blooms) as well as algae types that grow on the glass and decor. And it’s safe for planted aquariums. A precision dropper top helps you administer the proper dose to your aquarium.
Tetra’s state—of—the—art formula makes it the most highly concentrated algae control product available on the aquatic market today.
Directions for use:
To be used only in established aquariums (> 3 months old). Before applying, it is recommended you first remove as much algae as possible by cleaning the glass and decor. Be prepared to clean out additional algae as it is killed to prevent deterioration of water quality.
Add 1 drop per gallon of aquarium water. Dosage may be repeated if needed every three days for up to three total doses, then clean the aquarium of dead algae. For regular maintenance, use as algae starts to reappear.

Dosage and product description of Tetra Easy Balance
Easy Balance® – Detailed Description of Individual Product Features
•Carbonate Hardness Additive – The appropriate amount of carbonate hardness is added to the aquarium water compensating for KH losses, which occur as a result of nitrification.
•pH Stabilization – Stabilizes the pH value on a sufficiently high level, preventing a drop to biologically harmful levels (pH crash) and produces a certain amount of CO2 preventing excessive pH values.
•Phosphate Removing Effect – In a standard aquarium (30gal) the phosphate concentration is reduced to zero during most of the 6-month period.
•New Feature: Nitrate Reduction with Nitraban™ – Serves as a nutrient for denitrifying bacteria that consume the oxygen releasing nitrogen from the aquarium. On average the nitrate concentration will drop below 40mg/l.
•Other Features Include – Production of Carbon Dioxide, the addition of trace elements and a replenishment of vitamin B
Easy Balance® – Directions for use
•Shake well before using
•Add 1 teaspoon of EasyBalance® for every 5 gallons of aquarium water. Repeat dosage weekly.
•Change 50-75% of your aquarium water at least once every 6 months, provided Easy Balance® has been added as recommended and the aquarium is other wise properly maintained.
•Note: EasyBalance® is not a tap water conditioner and will not neutralize harmful chlorine or chloramines. When adding tap water to the aquarium it is recommended you always use Tetra AquaSafe® according to its directions. EasyBalance® should not be used in aquariums with low oxygen conditions; proper aeration using an airstone is strongly recommended.

Lets Get Started with planting..:How to grow Aqua Plants
Real plants do wonders for aquariums, providing fish with oxygen and even food. They keep the water chemistry more balanced, and provide scenery for you and hiding places for fish and other tank inhabitants. They're easy to care for, too.
edit Steps
1.
Select the plants you want to grow. It pays to do a bit of reading at this point, so check out aquarium forums and elsewhere. Consider the tank size, the scene you wish to produce and the size you want your plant(s) to be. Remember, plants grow! Want something with lots of leaves, or more of a moss? How about something your fish will be able to eat?
You can find tiny, dwarf aquarium plants that grow only an inch or two tall, or obtain much larger plants for larger tanks.
2.
Get a start of the plant(s) you want to grow. Either get an inexpensive, small start and wait for it to grow larger or purchase a more costly, larger plant. Plants are obtained at local pet shops, or other aquarists can provide you with starts. Either way, be careful of what you introduce to your tank. Plants can carry physical inhabitants from snails and shrimp to bacteria and diseases. Always look for a source that seems to practice good tank hygiene.
3.
Inspect the plant closely for snails and other visitors. Some of the tiniest water snails, no more than a couple of millimeters long, are rapid breeders. Unless you have loaches or other fish that will snack on them, they'll quickly take over your tank. You may quarantine a new plant outside your tank for a few days, to see if any snails appear.
4.
Most aquarium plants prefer to live entirely submerged, so don't let them dry out. If your tank is not quite ready or if you want to grow more of your plants than will fit in a tank, use a bucket or bin of water.
5.
Anchor the plants. Depending on the plant, this may be mostly an aesthetic matter, to keep them from bobbing around loose. For mosses, consider tying them loosely with string to a rock until they become established.
* In general, do not bury the rhizomes, which usually are thicker and greener than roots or stem, in gravel, as burying them can cause them to rot on many plants.
6.
Provide light. Aquarium plants, like any others, require light for photosynthesis. Check the light requirements of the plants you are choosing, many require high amounts of added light. Low light plants will do well if your tank has plenty of light from windows. Otherwise, plan to light your tank with a fluorescent full spectrum tank light.
• It's recommended that when you start out, stick to less than 2.5 fluorescent watts per gallon unless you put a carbon dioxide system in place. [1]
• "Cool White" or "Daylight" fluorescent bulbs are cheap, efficient, and effective enough for most purposes. [2]
7.
Add fish. While not strictly required, fish waste will help to nourish the plants. The plants, in turn, will keep the water conditions better for the fish by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Some plants are good at removing ammonia or nitrate. If you don't have fish already, wait a week after adding the plants before you introduce them to the lush environment you're creating.
8.
Change the water periodically. Plants do not need water changes the same way that fish do, but it is still a good idea to change the plant water when changing your fish water. Do not siphon in your plant bed, as you may kill and injure them. Run your siphon over the top of the soil in which the plants are planted, and make sure you don't damage them.
9.
Remove algae. Algae growing on tank walls or on plant leaves competes with plants for light. You can remove algae manually by scrubbing or scraping the walls of your tank weekly when changing the water and rubbing the plant's leaves gently between your fingers. The far easier method, though, is to let your tank's inhabitants do the job for you. Shrimp and several catfish eagerly feed on algae and can help to keep your tank far cleaner with little or no effort on your part.
10.
Divide or prune the plants if they outgrow your tank. Depending on your tank and your plants, you may find you have too much plant soon. Choosing slow-growing plants can help keep them small, but it can also mean having less plant and waiting longer for your plants to fill out. Find the right balance for your tank.
