I like your style man. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I just got one pack of bulbs from petsmart. It said it has an assortment of water lily aponogeton and onion if I remember right. I think the brand was top fin. I have gotten the three diferent plants to grow pretty well and have never had algie. I did however put some kinda plant fert in a month or so ago. The onion and aponogeten ( I think that's how you spell it) really liked it and started sending lots of stems to the top that grow long white kinda flowery things. But the Lilly didn't react well and started wilting so I cut it back and it looks to be coming back strong. I will try to post some pics tonight so you can check em out
