All the treatment in the world isn't going to stop nature, you might slow it down, but you AIN"T atopping it. DumBo thinks this is like a swimming pool. I fight nature everyday with a 60 gal. fish tanks. Limiting light, live planting and cycling water and filtering water helps. Algae will still form, it a natural process.
