Hard Water Plants

["Raymond Wong" <rwmw at home_com>]

Hello everybody, this is another question coming from the question posted
below,

I can't remember where I read or maybe I'm dreaming, but I believe I read
somewhere that peat in the water inhibits(?) or prevents growth of some
algae? Could someone send me the url or explain this to me ?


Thank-You
