PO4 and red algae
I've started having a small brush algae problem too and would like to
try adding PO4 as well but none of the posts have indicated how much
to add (I have a 10gal tank, but a standardized measurement would be
ideal). Can anyone suggest how much to put in the water? As I have
access to a fair number of chemicals (other than enema treatments!)I
would also appreciate suggestions on the best form of PO4 to add.
Also, using phosphate to clear up algae seems counterintuitive (since I thought P is usually blamed for causing algae outbreaks), can
someone educate me on why this should help the problem and not make
it worse?
Thanks,
Kyle
