Seems to be written well enough. I think you need either a reference to a follow
up article that explains how to get nitrates out of a marine tank or you need
references to existing articles that do this.

Your talk about LFSs arguing with you is spurious. Someone who has a refugium is
in a position to add plant matter, and most LFSs will not argue about that. What
you don't seem to understand is that the vast majority of their customers are
not in a position to keep a refugium, and they must cater to the majority. You
need to do this too. Talk about encouraging algae is also ridiculous, since the
vast majority of us prefer to SEE our fish. "Harvesting" algae is also very
problematical for most of us.

In short, I think you should remove comments about LFSs arguing with you. You
should mention the fact that keeping plants requires something like a refugium.
Finally, you should have an entire paragraph that describes how to go about
encouraging and removing algae. And make sure you come up with good method; hair
algae blooms are not acceptable. Neither is having the front glass covered up
half the time.
