Well, I seem to have staved off my algae problem. But my tests, and everything show next to no phosphates. So, unless someone has been messing with my test equipment, which has happened before, the only thing that I have changed was my filter media. I changed from Body’s Chemo Pure to PURAl and my lights are on a little longer than most aquariums. So, I ordered Chemi Pure Elite and I am sure that is the problem. I like the PHOS Lock technology, but the PURA that I was offered was not altogether PHOS Lock!!!! I mean we’re talking about bottom feeding here, I am going back to the tried and true “Top Shelf” Boyd’s……..I also have used a product called “Phytofeast” it’s not just Cat and Dog type stuff, it filled with 5 different types of phtoplankton and is more “Articulate” to as is it feeds everything in the tank and kind of “Photo Copies” everything as it grows. So essential mimics the ocean and makes your tank “Spicy”…..lol…..So when I started going through this, it was just a snowflake and my message now is so much more, I hope it will stop it dead in its tracks, It is not overgrown now, but it’s not like a rib is going to jump out of it either. To trained eye, you can see it coming, but one does not to be a genius to do the right thing, as Mufi or Lingle g as said foresight is easily a good characteristic of virtue that none can thwart……….Hope all is well out there, from the Hosier Main……..,Thanks, any ideas welcome
