I do think I may have a pocket growing on the screen. I believe that cyano is just like ich every tank has it to a degree and if the right conditions come a long bam you have a outbreak. Another reason this is a good idea I feed heavy and this is where all my problems begins and end. So to be able to feed the way I do and even if cyano shows up it will not make it into the display tank. And as far as the macro goes it might slow the growth because there are not a lot of nutrients left so what it can't get out of the water it has to get from the light(photosynthesis).
I've read several articles like that excellent article you linked.

Even with all that, the best and most effect method in a tank balanced out with macro algaes is to simply kill the display lights.
