I'm tearing down anexisting tank and gonna start over. I have a 20g high, with a fluval 204, 55 watt compact with reflector from AH supply. I'm putting peat and laterite under sand.I'm also planning on DIY CO2. My question is, I have some Anubius and some crypt that are covered with brown algea. I removed them and wiped as much algea off as I could. I'm gonna put them in a 10g with the 4 Lemon tetras, 1 SAE, and a few corys until the 20 is ready.Will this start an algea problem or will it be all right if I plant a crap load of fast growing bunch plants right off the bat? Thanks in advance for your help.
new tank, adding plants with algea?

Algae spores are likely present in your water source and will grow if given enough light and nutrients. Plant heavily right off the bat and you shouldn't have a problem, provided you supply the plants with the proper nutrients.
