It's the Americans who got behind the whole EI thing with "nitrates and phosphates don't cause algae, buy farm products and dump loads of them in." And it's always people following these techniques that have loads of problems.

ADA tanks have to add less P and N, mostly due to their substrate system that leaches nutrients for many months.

The Dutch have a greater presence, as their hobby is more widespread than in America.

Who has problems when they follow the established directions?

Most of my favorite tanks are from American hobbyists. Steven Chong and Roy Deki to name a few. Aaron and Craig for their "Tonina" tanks that the true aquascapers don't seem to like.
