I have used a fluidized bed filter namely and Lifeguard FB300 on a 55
gallon tank and have had green water. In fact that tank had more different
forms of Algae than I have experienced in any other tank, but I don't think
the they are related events. The only thing you got to make sure with
fluidized beds is that the water is well areated after it leaves the
system.

So in short no, I haven't found it to help.
