Aquarium Advice Regular
Tank has been up for a year and I have had some algae problems but not like I have now. Red Algae (and some Green) covers my Live Rock and substrate. When I do a water change the Red Algae starts growing on the next day visible on the substrate and glass.
I use RO/DI for water changes and it tests out at about .25 ppm of phosphate before adding to tank. Tank is testing out at 1.5 ppm. My tank does get some sunlight in it for about an hour of the day (cause of my windows in my cathederal ceiling that arent covered).
I cannot find the exact source. I feed usually 5 nights a week but I am careful not to overfeed.
All other tests are coming out fine
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
PH 8.3
Alk: Med-High
PO4: 1.5
What types of additives are available?
What types of media/mechanisms are available?
What/which would you do to combat phosphate?
