    It's is just phytoplankton, like at the beach. The more there is, the more it feeds the zooplankton, which feeds the corals.

    Carbon will reduce the phytoplankton, and UV will help too, but you will have less food for corals, and you will have more nutrients in the water.

    Best is to let the phytoplankton live, like they do in the ocean and lakes.

    my test is the same now nitrate 50 ppm
    my friend have turf scrubber he is cleaning it every 2 to 3 weeks and the test is zero
    he told me to clean it after 2 weeks so it should eat the nitrates after it grow

    i feed once a day only for 2 weeks now the phosphate is lower but nitrates the same
    please should i do what my friend told me?
