You need phosphate and nitrate for your plants.
Aim for these levels. 1-2ppm phosphate and 5-10ppm NO3

Phosphate and nitrate causing algae is old BS.

Look for KNO3 and KH2PO4. look for chuck gadd's fertilator to help you calculate.

Hi Stan/Ruslan
Thank you very much for sharing info with me. I thing I would like to confirm is how do you measure ppm. I am using ready made fertilizer from JBL, Seachem and Nutrafin. I don't have DIY fertilizer. Please advice.

Beside that if I want to make my own fertilizer can you please advise where can I obtain the ingredient such as KNO3 and KH2PO4?
