FINALLY!!! After more than 3 years, I have gone through an entire week without algae.
Out of total frustration, I decided to add a little potassium and a capful of Excel to the mixture. (I was basically throwing in the towel.) After day 3 I noticed there was no algae, so I added them again on day 4. NO ALGAE at the end of the week. I'm not sure which one is making the big difference, but that shouldn't be hard to figure out. I think it's the potassium.
......aaaaaaand, the good news is that all of this occurred after taking out most of the fast growing stem plants and putting my "nice" arrangement back in. Can you imagine???? Annubias for a week without algae????? This is big news, people.
