I'm having issues with algae. Black/Hair/Green Spot/Diatoms/Everything. Driving me crazy. I've changed my dosing regimine by reducing the amount of Phosphate additions and increasing the Nitrate addition. I performed a 50% water change on Sunday and it started to look better. Last night it was back again full fledged. Right now my time is limited due to other obligations so I'm only home for a few hours each day. Next week I should have more time to tackle this but right now I don't.
This morning I didn't dose (it was scheduled to be the Nitrate, Phosphate, etc dosage) because my Phosphate are way too high. My Nitrates are also high at 40 ppm. Would it be bad to skip dosing this solution for a few days until my levels reduce? I would keep dosing the other solution (I'm at work so I don't have the ferts in front of me to look at the exact name but it's the green stuff that has to be refrigerated). I could do another water change tonight if need be.
What would you do?
