I've read in the past that phosphates are Introduce to the tank and doesn't grow on its own. I've been having tons of different algae blooms. This last one is funky and is taking over. I syphoned out as much as possible yesterday and plan on doing 30 gallons more tomorrow. My phosphates were high. My rodi tested 0. So I'm not sure where its from. The only known phosphates i add is when I feed frozen cubes. And that's only once a day recently. Previously just pellets. Any ideas on what I can do? I do weekly %20 water changes. Syphoning only helped with the really long pieces. But its a little stubborn and is not sucking all the algae out. I may have to scoop out some of my sand bed to get it all out.
My flow is a little high but I can adjust it much. One of my return nozzle blows bubbles once in a while. So I think that's why the algae has bubbles. I am working on lowering the nozzle so it doesn't shoot bubbles.
