Nitrogen is so vital because it is a major component of chlorophyll, the compound by which plants use sunlight energy to produce sugars from water and carbon dioxide (i.e., photosynthesis). It is also a major component of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Without proteins, plants wither and die.
Plants (and algae) can use nitrogen in three common forms: Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate. If any of these forms are elevated, then algae can take hold. Restrict nitrogen by feeding less, keeping a lighter fish load, and doing more water changes. Light. This is probably the most common cause of algae in most tanks.
