    Nitrates are in fact one of the key 'foods' for algae to grow (and spread rapidly), nitrate control is what most practice and in turn helps keep algae down to a minimum.

    The use of a refuge to control just what type and where algaes are allowed to grow is a great way to export nitrates.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.
