Which fert should I reduce to cut algae growth?

Cut the phosphate and you'll get green spot algae. WHat you have
sounds like red algae, can you get a good pic of it?

Yes, OK, I've taken the photos, but am having problems sending them. Once I
work it out I will post them to the binaries group and send an update to
this newsgroup.

OK, the photos are on alt.binaries.aquaria--dont ask me how I managed it,
because Im not sure myself. But anyway, something worked. So any advice on
my algae problem much appreciated.

I will begin to reduce or eliminate the phosphorus, and see what happens. Unfortunately, there are no quick, safe and reliable way to figure it out, you just need to experiment, small changes to see if they have any effect. In fact, you do such a big change the water every week should help speed up experiments.
