58 Gallon Planted/Breeder Australia Styles

Ill try to get some photos tonight.
*EDIT
I am also down to 5 Otos but the rest are so fat its great! How can i get my L168 out during the day, or is it a hopeless fight. Would getting more be helpful? At $160 each, they aren't cheap.
 
Beautiful wood and fish. I love how the plants compliment the earthy feel of the tank. Please keep us updated on its progress. :)
 
Algae is getting the best of me, i have reduced to photoperiod to 8 hours now, but i have hit a wall in terms of ideas.

Pics are after the first major trim so plants need to fill in bit, the Ambulia at the back grows almost 2cm a day! nice redness on the tops too. The red tiger lotuses under the LH sword will be accompanied by a few more once i get some, they are $16 for one plant with 2 leaves so a bit expensive but are the only plant without algae. I have a bad outbreak of algea on everything!!!! Substrate looks terrible but fish are very healthy, with the Borellis already With there second brood.
 
ok 350.00 for a trio of bristlenose? ( sry read your first page post ) wow.......... how much is the cheapest fish?
