Notes:
After 4 weeks of letting the tank sit undisturbed to see if I can get rid of the green dust algae on the tank walls, I cleaned out the tank, trimmed a month's worth of plant growth, and changed out 50% of the water:

2.5 tsp baking soda
2 tsp CaCl2
1 slightly heaping tsp MgSO4
40 ml Excel
NO phosphates
1 tsp KNO3
15 ml Amquel+

I didn't add any phosphates, since there seemed to be plenty of phosphates. We'll see if the green dust algae returns...
