Hydor pico evo mag is creating some nice flow in my tank now. The impeller came but it was the wrong one ... By a long shot too. I'm happy with the flow right now but will order the correct impeller to give the HOB some extra flow. The DHG has taken a turn for the worse!! I've been jinxed 
... A couple of things may be the issue 1. Low nitrates 2. Hair algae
I've read that low nitrates may be the cause of my trouble, I might clean the tank too frequently...good for fish bad for plants
The grass was covered in algae and my shrimp and snails weren't able to control it quickly enough. I brushed the algae with an old clean toothbrush to get it off the grass but it wasn't enough. I've lost most of it actually, it's turned transparent or light brown. My algae problem is no longer, fingers crossed that the DHG recovers. The taller grass is doing ok but the four leaf clovers may be a lost cause. I might post a photo later so you can see what I'm dealing with.
