About the only element I've added, in appropriate/reasonable amounts mind you, to the water column which has noticeably increased algae growth is iron.
That's interesting, Bob. Ever since I've been adding more iron, I've been noticing a decrease in algae.

Plants seem to grow differently in different tanks. Some tanks seem to need more iron than others to get going. I just dial in my numbers for PO4 and NO3 for each tank, but the iron/trace dosing takes a while to play with and fine tune for each one.
