Improper any of the aforementioned for plants to utilize the available
macro nutrients = algae."
May I suggest the positive converse: keep your lighting low, grow
plants like Anubias, then you can have healthy fish and healthy
plants without worrying about CO2, fertilizers, temperature OR
algae!
I just responded with the light level question in mind, Koi has about
a 3watt/gallon light level. I don't recall any discussion of too much
light and the effects. Koi is using low light plants.
