For diatoms it may not hurt, but try doing that when you have a BGA bloom and you'll cause yourself more grief than you care for...

I think there are plenty of types of really attractive algae, unfortunately I'm not sure they would be easy to grow.Why can't we grow pretty forms of algae instead then! It would be so much easier!!!

Space the powerheads and spraybar evenly across the back wall along the top and point all flow horizontal towards the front glass. Do not point the holes or the pumps downwards as this defeats the scheme. We are using the glass to route the water underneath the bottom leaves because that is where the plants are mostly starved.
