After battling algae for years, I finally have it under control.
Fiddling with CO2 rates, fertilizer doses or reducing light
didn't help. Here is what I did:

1. stopped using un-filtered tap water. Started using water
   filtered through a faucet mounted PUR filter.

2. Added Seachem Renew to the filter cannister. It supposedly controls
   phosphates.

3. Added more Japonca shrimp, and added a couple of false SAEs.

Thanks
Sherlock
