I tested my phosphate tonight and it is .1. I also tested nitrates and it is zero. According to the blue-green algae webpage this is the reason I have blue green algae-not enough nitrates. So...is there anything I can do? Does a person really add nitrates to their tank?
btw I am going to plant this tank more heavily when the weather gets nicer and I can buy some plants thru the mail. But my betta tank has no real plants in it so that isn't an option for it. Also do extra plants do any good for blue green algae which isn't really algae at all?
