It means you have excellent conditions for algae to grow, use rodi water to help control the phos if its still there use a different salt, do yoi have a sump? If so add some chaeto or calerpura

No sump just a Aquaclear 50 so having some phos is ok? Can I add chaeto to my AC?

hi dave... u shud get as low as possible for this two reading (phosphates & nitrates) so that your tank wont fill with algae...but, if u can keep doing water change at least 30% weekly with less feeding, u can control that reading....

Do cleaner fish put a bio load on my tank ?

 

[superdave07]

I meant to say cleaner shrimp

 

[huma-huma]

Shrimp have next to no bioload

You could get some amanos. They clean algae and are very interesting

 

[superdave07]

I clean the front of my tank should I the back or leave it for my snails ?

 

[tarpon]

I leave the back wall for my cae's. If you don't mind how it looks then its fine.
