OK, I think I'm getting it but could you repeat that one more time please?

There is no conjecture nor opinion from nice aqauscapes and nice
healthy growing plants.

I have both.

Careful whom you take advice from and listen to, a universal truth is
that healthy plant growth = no algae growth/issues.

So focus on the plant growth.
More CO2, more nutrients

Algae do better at lower nutrients than plants, not higher.
Algae are also in a different niche than plants due to their much
smaller size and requirements.

Do you realize plants remove PO4 very rapidly?
I dose 3ppm of PO4 per week to my tanks.

So your phosphate uptake could possibly be an average 0.43 ppm per day?
I wonder if phosphate is absorbed only in the photoperiod?

I think fast growing plants could be an answer. I've been searching for
hornwort, for example, over the last few weeks without any success.
Seems to be hard to get at the moment. What would you suggest? What
plants do you have?

Anacharis is a very fast grower and can easily be propagated to fill a
tank in short order.

I have tried Anacharis and will try again. I need to buy this in large
quantities. A number of fish in my aquarium munch it like candy floss.

Serendipity landed me with a water sprite that hitchhiked on another
plant I bought. I'm going to let it take over the tank. I just have to
work out how to best aquascape an aquarium whose predominant plant
species is water sprite. Time to google.

I use Ludwigia repens; it's my fastest growing plant. Rotala indica
comes second, "Ambula", third. The rest are crypts :-)
