The 2 ways that I am using now are, add more Potassium into the water & put more Yamato shrimp (but currently I have only 7 Yamato shrimps, still looking for more. Estimated 100litres tank need 40~50 of it to do the jobs.)
I think JBL & Tetra fertilizer has just a little Potassium inside, but the plant really needs more than that for photosynthesis.

Care to provide the link to the article about adding more potassium to help in the battle against algae? I would have thought that adding too much of anything and getting an imbalance would create problems of its own.
