It was this article that partly led me to try to raise my nitrates. Be careful when trying to raise your nitrates artificially because it can cause your phosphates to plummet which can lead to catastrophic results. You can go from poor colors (low nitrates) to stressed corals (dieback)

Most of these masters have had their tanks running for a long time and have a high bioload, they manage the algae problems with using a lot of algae eating animals, manual removal and by covering every inch of space with corals therefore not giving the algae a chance to take a strong foothold.
