Rather high levels of PO4(2-3ppm) with decent CO2.

I might need to wipe glass once every few weeks.
Same deal in a non CO2 tank, even when I add KNO3 and KH2PO4.

Ok - now I'm REALLY confused. I may need to go back and review some past threads, but I thought that one of the primary premises of EI is that you canNOT induce algae with high nutrient levels? AND that high CO2 levels were ideal for preventing algae. Am I reading this wrong, or is it EXACTLY the opposite of what's previously been stated?
