I ended up going back to a blackwater tank.... 

The hightech worked great for the first few months but couldn't get algae under control.  Not sure if it was too much/not enough co2, lighting, macro nutes or even food (the harlequins eat like absolute monsters) .  Anyway, I slowly turned it back to blackwater and within a week the algae (black hair) started dying back and turning white.  Removed a lot of the larger plants that were taking over the left side.  

Plus... I really love the blackwater look on the big tank.  Can't wait for people to ask why it looks dirty lol
