is the Samolus Parviflorus considered a fast growing plant? I'm wondering
if i should pickup a few more hygrophila corymbosa's?? maybe they might
take the algae away before it can develop?

No, Samolus parviflorus is actually very slow growing. It needs plenty
of light and moderately hard water. Its native to the east coast of
the USA. It goes by the common names of Water cabbage, Water
pimpernel, and Water rose. It will send up a center stalk bearing
plantlets and will flower when it breaks the water surface. It grows
much faster emersed as a bog plant/edge plant in ponds.
