ceahorse, thanks for your insight.

i hope to cut down on the plant scraps by removing old growth on a regular basis, keeping the fast growing new growth to filter the water, and yes I am planning some sort of screening, but haven't fully decided yet.

also, hornwart has no roots, so no need to anchor it down.

Finlay, removing the bubbles cuts down turbulence and prevents micro bubbles from getting into the main display. I also use free standing baffles around my pumps.
