hi Jason,

The other statements sound logical but the PO4 and NO3 causes algae is a myth that pretty much busted byMr. Tom Barr and many others who have overloaded their tanks with these two nutrients.

Surprised the above mentioned website hasn't caught up as other German websites have discreetly removed mention of this myth.

Excess of these nutrients on the other hand may cause discomfort for your fish if not anything else.

Regards
