    Your plants aren't growing well... are you injecting CO2?

    Check your tank temperature, it should be below 28 degrees.
    Check your fertilisation, are you leaving out any nutrient that you should add?
    Check your CO2. Is it enough? Are plants bubbling at night?

    Nutrafin NPK is usually not enough imho. Are your plants bubbling at night? If they are not, you're missing out on some nutrient, or CO2 is not good enough.

    General tank maintainence comes along too... mosses tend to keep dirt and all sorts of things so I find that algae grows easily on them.

    No they don't. Any bubbling seen is result of previous gas accumulation.
