I consider myself fortunate in that I knew all of those things except for the ability of bacteria to help defeat algae. However, after roughly 14 of being in the hobby, I guess it makes sense that I’d learn a few things over the years.

The two things I’ve always found to be the easiest and best solution is to have an algae refugium for nutrient export and several fish that eat algae in the display - just like what was mentioned in the video.

My very first mistake was listening to my fish guy I hired in 2006 to set up my first tank; he generated more algae and killed more things anything else.
