Update: I removed all visible signs of the ulva algae and started treating with Vibrant(2times a week)(on second dose) and emeralds to reduce the bubble algae.
Daily water changes are at 1g a day set with the DOS and apex
No3=.25
Po4=.4
I bought some ME Coral Nitrate and I added the required amount 20ml per 100gal to raise it 1ppm.
Nothing for 24 hours so I added 30ml and finally a reading of 1.0 but after 24hrs it is at .25. Should I keep adding until I get it stable at 1 or something even higher?

For the Po4 I added only 50ml of Rowaphos to my reactor as the call was for 100ml but I was concerned on dropping it too fast. 50ml in this small reactor is like 1/2in of media so it is a really small amount.

Please any input on the chemistry here would be helpful whether I am going about it wrong or needs tweaking?
