Death to Greenery

I had to rip out all but one of my aquatic plants, it was getting neigh on toxic in there. I'm going to clean the tank again and make sure the filimentious algae is all gone before I order new plants online. No more crappy PetCo plants! I'm gonna get some more snails to, though I'm also considering a Pleco, I need an algae eater in there.... Oh, the plants were'nt really green upon removal. :(
