Re: Little help with algae problem.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by twokayaks
[B]Hoping someone up there can give me a clue about what's causing a lot of algae growth in my tank. Here are the tank parameters: PO4: .03ppm, PH 8.0, 8.6 to 9.0 dKH, Alk: 3.2 to3.3 meq/L, Ca: 420 ppm, NO3:5ppm, NO2: 0, Ammonia <0.25 to .25.
if you have 5ppm no3 and slight ammonia, you have silica and phos conversion in the tank, i does not take much, do you run any rowa, or phos ban, should help
