CT_ Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 It got to the point where I was dosing of phosphates to keep up my macro levels. I'm now winning the war on algae and i just tested my phosphate which was consistently 0 and now its 1.0. was my algae sinking all that phosphate? I had just assumed it was my floaters.

That one would be difficult to answer. You would have to search for research on various algae uptake rates and specific plant uptake rates. That would be one heck of a project. But post results here if you find it! <Wink> 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping that there was a simple answer like "oh yeah its known that algae needs 5x the phosphate of a plant" or something. oh well. I'll take a peak at literature, maybe I'll get lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
