Well, so far, I can't find any evidence to substantiate this claim. So, I'm going to say it was false and misguided information. I'm not going to include it in my article. Thanks everyone :D

Yeah, it would have been too easy to throw in a little baking soda to cure algae. lolololololol

What you never test out your own theories... I am calling you out Snake, Raise your alk and tell us what happens.... :evil:

LOL you're too funny. I would experiment because there is nothing in my tank but some hermits and a snail right now - but there's one problem... there's no algae to cure! lol! It's all growing on my algae scrubber. lolol

Well, the article that I am writing on nuisance algae is actually going to be published on a different website. If I remember, I'll PM you the link.
I am not going to raise my alkalinity for my tank. I have no algae to kill - and I have fish and don't want to risk it. I chalked up the article I read to bad information and misconceptions.

I don't have any algae either, i was just asking because i figured it could be a good thing to suggest to customers because i work at a saltwater fish store
