heater is not needed .... whats your lighting ? your bioload if fine too .... just change your water regularly ... your setup is good enough ald ... just make sure there is no water current in your tank . you have to do something to your return pipe to prevent this

Don't think you can acheive algae wall with gf, algae will end up as poo before the wall can be fully formed, green water more achievable.

meaning the water returning to the tank after filter , you can face the pipe to the wall to cut down current ... you know what is a sponge biological filter using air pump to drive ?
