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.

I didn't include my references awaiting for feedback. Now I know which
remark needs a reference, I will post them!


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.

I meant algae that will go along your tankscape. I encourage the growth of
algae that blends in with your tank. I have algae growing in my refugium
also in a compartment under the lights in a secluded place, easy to harvest.


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.

I understand what you are saying and after reading your post, have to accept
that my experience shouldn't have played a role in my paper. I will remove
the comments...
