A whole lotta scrubbing

Plecos and other catfish can only do so much, plus they get unhappy if their only diet is ambient tank slume. My tank also gets a bit of light, although the lone pleco in there is doing a pretty decent job at the moment. Introducing more current might also help. Maybe a powerhead?
