Indeed. Algae-free is one of the initial targets of keeping a nice planted aquarium.
Getting to know what chemical causes what to grow better or worse in what quantity is an art in itself. One day I will get part of the way there. Process of elimination and understanding the quantities and having less fear of dosing larger amounts is useful.
I think I will try and switch some of my other questions to another topic about "Maintaining a client's aquarium" or "Professional maintenance". Perhaps you can chime in there?
