whats the best macro algae for phosphate control? I have a bunch of chaeto, which keeps my nitrates at a very low level, but my phosphates are insane, at around 1.5-2 ppm. I know different algaes consume no3 and po4 in different ratios, so I want to add a type that consumes a ton of phosphate.

Interesting topic but you need to use lanthinum chloride to drop your phosphate slowly first.

no I don’t know which algae consume the most as my phosphate is high but not as high as yours.
