Me too!
I had a Rio 125 many years ago running T8s and I had a thriving low tech tank with no algae.
Fast forward to a couple of years ago and I had two Rio 125s with the T5 tubes. Whilst I was fairly happy I was always battling some form of algae.
The Rio 125 is a nice tank but that lighting can be a pain. One way to compensate is to buy some reflectors (or use tin foil) and use them underneath the lights to limit the amount of light going downwards.
At the moment I have the EI ferts. I simply dose a third of the weekly amount of Macro on Sunday and Micro on Monday.
Prior to that I used Tropica Specialised and prior to that TNC Complete.
I agree. My tank with soil, floaters and reasonable plant mass has never had one spot of algae.
I have ensured I have kept lighting levels in check throughout as well which has helped.
