3 weeks to cycle

It'll improve the growth of the plants and help them compete against algae... but wouldn't directly impact the algae, you'll have to remove it manually and try to balance tank conditions to minimize the subsequent algae growth.

Yea I am trying hard to do so... hope that adding in the echinodorus tenellus can aid in "fighting" the algae and at the same time trying to pull those algae out without destroying my plants....

Just another question, will echinodorus tenellus need root tabs? I am thinking of seachem flourish tabs...

If you are using plant soil, no need for root tabs. E tenellus is a low requirement plant in my dictionary.

In the long run, after maybe 8 months, you may need to replenish with root tabs.

I see because I saw some the leaves like turning transparent like its dying wondering what I can do about it...

When you got the tenullus was it in emmersed form? or submerged form?

the leaves are they curling or straight?

It may be converting from one form to another.

If after 2 weeks its still dying off, then something is wrong.
