tank with P and N that are indeed close to zero (say a heavily
planted, well lit tank, with a few fish) does NOT have algae.

The best approach is to not try to fight the algae but to make sure
the plants are bubbling and growing. If they do it is only a matter
of time for the tank to clear up from algae.

Hey Nikolay

I would have to disagree with you slightly. A tank with low N & P will more
than likely have severe algae problems. Do the math. No nutrients = no plant
growth. No plant growth = ALGAE.

How do you expect your plants to pearl and grow if you don't feed them??
