dabandit, while i agree that people who have no idea what they are talking about shouldn't talk, you are currently shooting yourself in the foot. There are quite a few cyanobacteria species that are known as nitrogen fixers. At low levels of nitrogen (at normal phosphorus levels), usually in the form of nitrate for obvious reasons, nitrogen fixers outcompete other algal species in natural settings. This is what Ive learned from my university limnology class... there's plenty of scientific papers detailing this mechanism if you're willing to look for it. Granted that in captive systems, all bets are off, because our systems only emulate nature in the barest of degrees. is the best way to stock more (but not overstock... i dont think that's what he meant)? maybe, maybe not, but there's merit to it at least.

edit: "are you saying im wrong?" now who's the expert?
