Hi everyone...I am new to the board and have a question. I have had my 55 gallon FO tank set up for about 6-7 months now. Recently i have been having green and red algae problems. My Phosphates are very high but my tap water tests 0. I dont think i am over feeding. All i have right now is a Yellow tailed blue damsel, a picasso trigger and a snowflake moray. I read that some flake foods are high in phosphates. I use Wardley's Total Color Marine Gourmet Blend. Does anyone know anything about this particular kind? I also feed my eel Hikari frozen krill. I have a Fluval 404 canister, and a Seaclone Skimmer. Water changes are done every 2 weeks. My lighting consists of two 24" Powerglo bulbs and a 48" Marine glo bulb. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
