| I dunno for everyone. I've had good luck I guess. Only a few times have I had really any algae on my shallow substrate [telling me to vacuum + siphon]
Mostly I just have minor dustings of whatever grows on my glass. A quick wipe every day or two and I' good [except for the coralline].
My softie tank has a small patch of hairy algae that seems to be shrinking and appeared really only for a few months. I guess I'm just lucky [?] ... though I deliberately tried to stock lightly and slowly [cured the rock outside the tank, before setting tank up].
Anyway, that's my take. Probably a ton of different experiences ... but the only time I really had a algae problem was running a sandbed, an experiment I ended before too long.
