Aquarium Advice FINatic
As some of you may remember Ive been battling algae. I bought a phospate test last week and tested my aquarium water. It was between 0 and 0.1 ppm It certainly had a very light green tinge to it. ( Using the red sea test kit, btw).
I decided to test my source water just for the heck of it and see what happened since I was still having problems after doing several PWC.
RO/DI fresh = 0 phosphate. Yellow. Not even a trace of green
Ro/DI saltwater in bucket before PWC ( reef crystals ) = 0 - 0.1ppm. Light color green
is this normal? its about the same reading I was getting in the tank with all the algae. I was kind of surprized by this.
Should I possibly change my salt? Confused on these results.
Thanks!!
