Less consumption NO3/PO4 this week

  • pH:
  • Temp:
  • KH:
  • GH:
  • NH4:
  • NO2:
  • NO3: 10-20
  • PO4: 1.75
  • Iron:
  • Dosing: 5 mL Flourish, 0.5 ppm iron chelate
  • NO3:PO4 Cumulative Dosing Ratio:

Notes:
There's not been much, if any, decrease in algae. The green dust algae is starting to come back on the tank walls, so the theory of letting the green dust algae "go through its life cycle" did not work.

Starting tonight, I turned on the UV to see if that will make any difference, or at least slow the spread of the staghorn algae. I also noticed that so far this week, there hasn't been nearly as much consumption of NO3/PO4, for whatever reason.

Here's a picture of the horrible staghorn algae which has spread all over the tank within several days. Ugh!
