Well, Gitte, it's like this. Algae are alternately considered plants or
plant pests. But either way I think most folks would agree algae are on
topic. There is even an ARTICLE about algae in the latest issue of
Planted Aquaria Magazine. So algae poisons are on topic. Especially to
those who find algae a pest, as it inhibits their ability to manage their
planted tanks.
