Series- Algae Control in the Reef Aquarium- Introduction

As several of our contributors are in the process of building new reef habitats, we'll begin with sharing related topics.  One of the more common encounters in a new aquarium environment is an unidentified or unwanted algae bloom.  Over the next week we'll discuss algae control related topics including cultivating beneficial algae. Over time this series will continue to develop in detail as algae and its control are among the most in depth and common reef discussions to be had, especially in reference to nuisance algae.  Additionally, not only are some algae beneficial, if not essential, they can significantly contribute to the natural feel in a well-designed reef.  Please check back for our first post and feel free to submit questions and comments.
