Hi Matt,

I had a problem with Green Spot Algae (GSA) and got rid of it by increasing
my dosing of phosphate (KH2PO4).  First I cleaned my glass and removed as
much of the GSA as possible.  Then I started gradually (don't overdo
phosphates or you will have Algae City!) increasing my dosage using weekly
increments.  Every week I would re-clean my glass and I found as I increased
my phosphate dosage the amount of GSA decreased.  I am currently dosing
about 1/32 tsp per 10 gallons 3X week and it is not coming back.  BTW, I
just started trying a similar procedure for Green Dust Algae (GSA) by
increasing my dosage of nitrogen (KNO3).  Here is where I got the
information:
