In Mike Peletta's "Tank Parameters of Some Masters" article not one of the tanks mentioned has undetectable nutrients. In fact some are quite high. And not one tank has algae (at least not to the point it's a problem).
My question is- how is this possible?
If there is inorganic p04 showing up in tests, it's freely available for algae to use to my understanding. Throw in the n03 and everything else that's needed and no algae? What is stopping it?
Will algae not grow to the point that all available resources are used up?
