Hey Everyone,
So even though my phosphates are showing .03 and have been hovering around there for the last few weekly test I am battling a pretty significant green algae outbreak. Obviously I am assuming the phosphate reading is being reduced due to the uptake by the algae and I have since started up a refugium to try and reduce nutrients and reduce the green algae issue. My question is ..how do I calibrate my refugium to ensure I don’t bottom out my nutrients if my test results aren’t showing anything too out of wack ?
My last test results showed nitrates at 3.3 and Phos at .03 via Hanna
Side note I just beat a pretty significant cyano outbreak via Dr Tim’s treatment(maybe a little over a month ago). Some cyano is coming back as well.
