Help! My Fish Tank is out of control w/ green algae.

10. Plants are easy

Just either purchase some at the pet store. In my experience Petsmart doesn't sell many plants. Pet Superstore has nice plants.You can order plants online too.

To plant live plants, hold the leaves in your hand with your forefinger just above the roots (plant in upside down position) push the roots into your gravel and sweep back with your forefinger until the roots are buried. General rule of thumb, tall plants in the back, shorter plants towards the front. An Amazon sword makes a good centerpiece and crytocorene wenditti ads some red color.

If your tank is cloudy, it is a symptom indicating that the tank has not cycled yet. Be patient, your tank will clear once the nitrogen eating bacteria become established in the tank. Frequent water changes will help but once the tank cycles they will be unnecessary. Remember, "the solution to pollution is dilution".
