Dear Friends.
I faced with new big question and problem.
My new tank design have 2 very very dense group of plants in the background. (more than 500 stems of Rotala Sp green from each side+very dense M.Umbrosum)

While this bushes was in process of grows and forming - everything was quite good. But now when scape is ready I really dont know how to organize best filtration and water current.
Main problem that in this 2 group of plants accumulate a lot of scum. And even my 2 1200/l hours filters+1 surface hanging skimmer not allow me to "push and suck" this scum. And of course as result i have thread algae outbreak (first time in my 3 years hobby)
So for me is main question is how to organize inflows and outflows of my filters to solve my question
I attached schematic picture of my plants and current filters locations.

Any advise will be very helpful
Thanks
