Still debating the angels vs shrimp idea. In anyones opinion, do shrimp really help control algae, enough to make a dent? Don't have algae yet, and hopefully won't have any/much, but seeing as this is my first planted tank, I'm expecting the worst.

I've had probably half the crypt leaves melt away, the rest seem to be doing OK. Need to keep an eye on them.

As far as the E. Tennelus, the leaves that are melting aren't completely melting, just becoming opaque, and brown (if that makes any sense). There are a few new leaves growing on a couple of the plants. Should I take off the melting leaves, or just leave them?

I've adjusted the spraybars to be a bit lower in the tank, now there isn't nearly as much surface movement. No change in the PH, however.
