Ok. So I will try increasing the amount of phosphate I'm dosing and nitrate. I guess it all depends on what kind of algae I'm dealing with here. The stuff on the faces of the leaves I think is green spot algae. It doesn't come off easily or at all. The algae on the tank walls is lighter in color than what I have had in the past with bga, so it probably is green dust algae. It scrapes off easily with a credit card. What about the Vals leaves turning yellow? Or maybe this is normal when you replant it?

Actually I am looking into getting Excel, I went to the lfs yesterday and she's seeing if she can order it in for me. The reason I'm doing this though is because I'm setting up a new 32g next week and don't want to invest in co2 yet. By the way, any suggestions on the planting of a new tank, what I should get etc. would be great since I've never set up a tank of this size, planted, from scratch before. I'm ordering in a bunch of plants next week for it so I can basically order whatever I want and the lfs will bring it in. The tank has 40w of light.
