I got so pissed that I tore mine down today and redid it. I had algae streaming all the way across the tank with no end in sight. I think it was too much topsoil under the substrate. I never considered that it might leech out enough to feed algae, but I guess so. Anyways, I sifted the sand and rocks out of the dirt and put that back in the tank, along with the two logs above and a few plants, some of which I cut back so far that they are just stems. There is still a little staghorn algae on the log and a couple of plants, but I'm going to watch it and make sure it dies this time.
