I agree witht eh algae blooms being normal but I also thing we are to quick to blame every algae bloom as normal tank cycling. I think the blooms should be relitivly small and if you skimm enuf and do frequent water changes you shouldent have any. don't forget thoes opinions were made up to 20 years ago when the equipment and materials we were using consisted of under ground filters and crushed gravel. I like to think that algae blooms can be prevented by watching water quality now. the problem is most of us do not have the quality of testing equipment to real know what is going on in our water.
