Hello....
New to reefing here and so confused. My phophates are 0 and Nitrates are 0 but I have all different types of algae. I have some green moss like algae growing on one of the live rocks and i have a hard brown algae growing on the glass that requires a razor to get it off. I also have some rust colored algae growing on the sand. Tank is 5 months old and has an over abundance of clean up crew. Fluval Evo 13.5 gal. I am confused about the nitrates and phophates. Do I have too many of them which is why I am growing algae because they are eating it up or not enough of them? How do I balance those and keep them balanced? I thought about some chaeto and grow light in one of my back chambers but will that cause an issue too? With my tests reading zero i am not sure what to do at this point? I hate seeing the algae and want it all gone.
THanks
