That's actually the Zebra Rock that I showed you earlier :]
Any suggestions on a plant I can use to cover up the pre-filter?
How to improve this tank?

java moss... just throw it anywhere in the tank, and it will grow on the strainer and eventually clog it...
j/k...
how big is the tank...? get a lace plant to cover up the filters... those huge leafs are gorgeous, and water flows thru them... the leaves can be tied to cover up stuff too...

This is a 10 gallon tank.
I could probably get some Hornwort or Cabomba from my LFS...would that work?

oh shnap... yeah, don't get the lace leaf plant... that needs a ton of room...
yeah... cabomba could work... or anacharis... you chould get some anacharis, cut it into 2" lengths and bunch it up... it will start growing all thick and nice that way... i don't like the long strands of it...

I think the green algae looks good on wood, but for the glass I like scrapers more than scrubbers. With a glass tank a copper scraper or plastic works great, and they never scratch the glass.
If you want an animal that eats algae, I like Malaysian trumpet snails. They are gentle on plants and live in the gravel during the day. They actually clean the gravel a bit and come out at night in the thousands to clean the glass and plants.

I suggested them because i didn't want your plants to be eaten. I think ramhorn snails do a good job, and they look cool too. Peolle say they eat plants, but I don't see that in my tanks.
