Well don't know about the NO3 but most of the older pipes are iron so maybe
we have enough "Fe". Well the PO4 gota be coming from somewhere (new
government conspiracy in the making) , but by adding the Phosfex the algae
began to lose it's battle, we have it surrounded and it's making demands but
we don't negotiate with terrorists like Algae, so their days are over as the
algae is detaching, so whatever changed it's working.
But hey, thanks you for your reply and opinion it's going in the fish
file,,, Mark
