You're way out on top of it then.
Your algae problem, then, is simply a matter of there being too few plants to use all the nutrients in the water column. Time is your friend, because the stems will eventually take off, and if you get Saggitaria subulata (probably the grass you're looking for), that will carpet the tank right quickly once it gets going.
Still, anachris is cheap enough that some folks buy it to feed their goldfish, and you don't have to root it. Chuck a couple of bunches in there as nitrate sponges while the cabomba comes up to speed. That should help with the algae at least a little.
