I mean redfield ratio. I`ve read this thread and do not plan to do anything except cleaning half of scrubber every 3.5 days (so each half grows 7 days). I`ve found this better than cleaning whole scrubber every 7 days.
Just a bit worried how algae will adapt to such large No3 to PO4 ratio.

So this is probably why this happened in my tank. Because Puff, eels and gsp`s eating shrimp every day.Shrimp has one of the lower phosphate to protein ratios, according to the Randy Holmes-Farley article from a few months ago. I'm not sure if this would mean that less P and more N would enter the system and throw everything in that direction. That would seem to go against this running philosophy about the redfield ratio of N:P in food and in absorption of nutrients by algae.
