That is a great deal of lighting for the tank, not enough plants also.
Pack 2-3x that amount and reduce the lighting to 110w till things settle down.
Add some excel in the meantime to beat the algae back also.
The rest is CO2/dosing.
Given your tap, just do 50-70% weekly water changes and add:
1/2 teaspoon GH booster after water change
3x a week:
1/4 teaspoon KNO3(later, 1/2)
1/8 teaspoon PO4
TMG or traces 10mls
That should do it.
The rest is all CO2.
Oncwe ther tank does well, then you have a good handle on CO2, then add the 220w for maybe 3-4 hours in the middle of the day.
No more than 10 hours light per day.
