Re: [GSAS-Member] Algae control

[Mark Pearlscott <mark@pearlscott.com>]

The best solution takes a little effort, and that is to adjust the 
nutrients in the tank.  Usually when you add more plants to an 
established tank, you toss off the balance.  Most likely it will be 
nitrogen efficiency, but it would be better to take a strategic approach 
to figuring out what is lacking.  Returning it to balance will eliminate 
the algae, and make you plants grow like gang-busters.
