Comunque per tornare al tema centrale, vi chiederei gentilmente un parere a "pelle" su questo passaggio conclusivo, non sto a ri-citare tutto il testo xò sostanzialmente la chiave di volta, secondo le varie prove effettuate, pare essere il fosfato (PO4), in particolare quello disciolto nella colonna d'acqua non potendo essere assimilato al 100% dalle piante porta inevitabilmente un "disavanzo" decisamente appetibile per le alghe:
"Despite the lack of controls on the various experiments, and the inability of the authors to directly measure phosphate in the aquaria, there is compelling evidence to support the hypothesis that all types of algae (including cyanobacteria) can be effectively controlled in planted aquaria by ensuring that phosphate is the factor limiting plant growth. In two aquariums with different volumes, substrates, lighting, and plant, algae, and fish populations, effective control of algae was achieved by enriching the tank water with CO2, micronutrients, trace elements, N, and K. Despite high initial algae loads, these tanks are now almost free of visible algae and have remained so for several months. Furthermore, in the 500L tank it was shown that phosphate limiting was occuring by adding phosphate to the tank water and observing the almost immediate growth of green spot algae and cyanobacteria. It has also been shown in the 160L tank that disturbances to the phosphate-containing substrate result in algal growth if there is significant (more than approximately 1 ppm) nitrate in the water, and in growth of cyanobacteria if nitrate is not present at this level. It is important to note that plant growth in both tanks is excellent, so algae control has not been achieved at the expense of the plants."
