6 gallon tank, been running for 6-7 months and now really battling algae issues the past 2 months. Nitrates look like 0, phosphate was unreadable on Salifert test. 2 sexy shrimp and thats it for bioload and the 1-2 times a week I feed the shrimp and rock flower nem a little bit of mysis. Probably need some good CUC, whats good for a 6g tank?

Is my bacteria colony not good? Flow? Just now going through the ugly stage?

Any questions/advice would be appreciated!
