I think maybe you misunderstood too Savatage, I was the one that said that CC didn't seem to cause excessive algae bloom - the CO does...
Or at least more so that the cement itself seems to cause...
Personally, I have used a bit of both, and on neither occassion did I see an algae bloom. I did have a Caulerpa bloom, but I know what caused that (ignorance) and it's a long story. In short, Crushed Oyster Shell or Crushed Coral will not give you an algae bloom. A lot of the times, people will make DIY Rock and it will go into a fairly new tank. And just about every new tank will eventually have an algae bloom. For those that have DIY Rock, it's just easier for the algae to grow on because they don't have to compete for living space. After all, algae can't grow on (living) coralline algae
