Hi,

I seems to have an issue with algae in my tank. The tank is about 9 months old. Both nitrate and phosphate are both near zero.

Does anyone have any idea what is may be?

it is fairly common for new tanks to go through algae in this time period. you may have dinoflagellates. Are you running a uv filter?
