Hey guys, I’m getting both hair algae and dinos at the same time and I honestly have no idea what’s going on. These are my NO3 and PO4 test results. Any ideas what could cause this and what I should do next? THANKS!!!

hair algae consumes nutrients and stores them in its cells, so tests will often show zero nutrients when there is a bad algae problem. Can you post some pictures of the algae under white lights so we can see?
