So over the last week or so I have noticed some algae coming back into my tank. I started dosing PPS Pro at the recommended levels. It appears my plants still have a potassium deficiency so I am going to start dosing potassium again. But when I checks my phosphate levels they are 10+ PPM. I proceeded to check the water from the tap and it is around 7+ PPM. Should I lower my phosphate level? Is this the reason for the algae growth? If so what is the most effective way to adjust the phosphate level? Also I do not have any red colored plants.
