Okay so my tank has been running for almost 4 months now when I test for nitrates there’s zero and when I test phosphates it ranges from 0 to 0.03 it depends on the day. And I have a decent amount of algae not the worst so I’m not sure if that’s eating up all the nutrients. I’m not running anything thing except for filter floss I did have a skimmer going but I stopped that about a week or two ago. Should I just start to feed more to bring up the parameters or what else could I do. Thank you
So the first picture is my tank before I cleaned it and scrapped most of the algae away.
