Default algae all over

Here's my 1 watt per gallon, non CO2 injected tank:

Lush growth in most plants, to the point that some require weekly pruning.
Substrate is gravel mixed with a bag of fluorite. I add Fluorish, Fluorish
Excel, and Fluorish Iron every week (if I remember).

The moral of the story is, YMMV.


Adding Excel _is_ adding a carbon source. That's not a non CO2 tank.
