Re: [APD] Phosphates too much? any alternative answers to reducing theproblem.
Nick,
I have high phosphates in my tank with no observable ill effects.
There was a discussion on this some time ago, you might want to check out
the archive. I would just do some water changes.

I'm getting a high reading of Phosphate in my water. When I test my water
I get more than 5ppm in just 30 seconds which to me indicates a problem.
My fish tank is suffering from algae which sticks on the glass and also
makes the water a slight green / yellow colour.
My question is simple but I can't find many alternatives, how do I reduce
the phosphate?
I've got lots of live plants, I've tried underfeeding my fish for a week,
I've tried replacing water very regularly (more than 90% for a couple of
weeks/water changes) - my tap water by the way has 0.5ppm Phosphate after
a reaction time of 2 minutes.
_Are there any alternatives? _
