The discussion on the PPS thread got me thinking again. I know it's been discussed before. I don't think we have a definitive answer so lets give it another whack, college try, that sort of thing...

New school fertilization methods (EI and PPS) have certainly deepened our understanding of planted aquarium nutritional dynamics. They have allowed MANY more people to enjoy algae-minimized tanks.

The question is: why do EI and PPS minimize algae?
