The "planted tank" story is a constant fight against algea blooms. Too much light and algea grows, to little light and your plants do not grow.

People who use high lights have all kinds of problems, and must adjust. But yeah, perhaps it is time to play around with the concept again. Maybe with sacrificial phals. I have a few not doing so well right now.

I wanted to put my phrags in the water (pond outside), but the light near the aquarium is not good for phrags, and adding light is adding algea. If someone can suggest a water loving/roots in water type plant that also loves low light, I can do it.
