Reefs In Decline

In it, he mentions why we should not fear algae and how we should embrace it

In a tank, we will never be able to control algae with fish because most fish poop inside the tank and the nutrients go right back into the water to grow more algae. We also can’t plant mangrove forests in most tanks to suck up the nitrates. What we can do is make friends with the algae, force it to grow where we can control it, and then remove it along with its nutrients. That is the purpose of an algae scrubber.
