Water flow is pretty variable. In the front right, it's strong enough to keep the crypts bobbing and send snails rolling around if they lose their grip. By the time you get back behind and around the driftwood, it's just fast enough to keep small flakes of food moving horizontally. And I found a couple of eddies that have started to collect mulm (which I vacuumed out). The light is strongest in the fastest-flowing areas, and that's also where I'm getting algae.
I pulled out most of the hornwort, as it was trapping debris at the surface. I added material on top of the tank to shade the areas where I have anubias and java fern, and added some little bits of shade wherever I had to scrub blue-green algae off the wood. Trying to be careful not to shade the faster-growing plants!
As of this morning I've started dosing with macros and micros according to GLA's instructions for PPS-Pro (low light, with water changes, here).
