Phosphates can take a while to build up in your system. I am guessing the tap water is your issue. If you have the means and the resources I would start using RO or RO/DI.

ummm.....the tap water in is pretty good actually we use it for drinking and cooking as well. The most it may contain in Chlorines apart from that we never have any issue people dying or getting ill from it. So lets say i change to RO/DI water...will the algae keep growing?.....maybe i'll invest in a RO/DI unit, i'll check it out tmrw. Thanks for the help

it will still grow alittle bit until it has used the nutrients that are in the water.
I assumed you are from somewhere other than the US because of your location KK, Sabah I dont know what type of filtration methods are used in Malaysia but here they use chlorine, and other chemicals which are safe for human consumption but not for a closed tank.

Syphon what you can out, possibly run some chem pure or some other type of phosphate absorber, and switch to RO Water. Providing you are not over feeding it should clear up, but it may take a month or 2.
