I honestly don't remember the name of the guy in the middle

I was wonder what ground covering plants I go get for my aquarium and is are my lights strong enough for what I have. Also if someone could just say I'm on the try track cause I have crazy algae on my drift wood and my water is still very yellow. Day 7 of cycling; 3 50% water changes

Photos of the set up and the algae on the dift wood. Could I get a few Siamese algae eaters to combat this algae?
