You used to have bad "green dust / spot algae like me too, didn't you?

I too have been a satisfied beta-tester of the new Flourish products -- I 
have gone from horrible green-spot / dust algae to ABSOLUTELY NONE since I 
began using the products.

I have always just figured it was because I was dosing much less than my 
rather imprecise "pinch" of powdered KNO3 and K2PO4.  I email Greg several 
times to report I have seen an immense decrease in all forms of alga in my 
tanks.

I imagine that there are many other APDers on here that have been quietly 
enjoying the benefits of these secret products for months!!

My plant growth has also been fantastic, especially some of the harder to 
grow species.
