Well, my nitrates test at 0 and my phosphates are at the bottom of the scale,
but I've still got a tank full of hair algae. I'm thinking that things like
diatoms and algae that eat nitrates and phosphates must keep the levels low (by
eating them up). I've been using PhosBan and have some RowaPhos ordered, but I'm
almost ready to give up.
