You're off to a beautiful start IMO!!
I favor clay pots for accent/hiding nooks as well.

I'd look to add some quantities of really fast growing stem plants to nip that algae in the bud. Hygrophilia, water wisteria, anachris, water sprite- there are lots that will do the trick so whatever's available will work fine. After the tank gets really established you can phase out the stem plants and add some of the more difficult species- and never have an algae problem in the meantime.

That was the best advice I ever received as far as planted tank start-ups.
