this S$%% been pissing me off since i setup my new tank, it will not go away, doesn't matter what i dose. some sources says to dose more nitrate and some says its excess Nitrate and Phosphate that causes it. well in both cases blue green algae did not give up, it continue to thrive and taking over everything, i have tried reducing and increasing the nitrate and no results. last thing i can think of is phosphate which could be excess because this is only one month old ADA aqua soil setup and i think soil still might be releasing some nutrients to the water (mostly phosphate).
am going to perform big water changes to see if that will help and this time not dose any Phosphate, normally i dose 1ppm Phosphate 3x week.
i know for sure its not co2 related issue, am not newbie and i know what am doing. if you have suggestion please do share.
