nah, he means add N (and maybe P) in some chemical form like KNO3. To grow algae, it didn't really take off with just heavy feeding for me either. I also added KNO3 and some high P liquid miracle grow fertilizer.
It seems like there's a lag of several weeks between heavy feeding and algae growth. I wonder if we could skip all that by going straight to dosing N + P and skipping dumping tons of food in the tank.
Mostly all the heavy feeding grew for me was an army of horrifying bristleworms.
