Bro Stinky,
Actually dzon is from New York and not Mal., so he may well NOT have the nutrient levels we are accustomed to.
Dzon, you might want to check out the flow rate in your tank and make sure that its not too slow over the sand bed

Switch immediately to RO water!!
Also, don't stir the algea into the sand. Remove it manually from the tank. If not, they will decompose, and release more phrosphate and nitrates, and the situation will become worse!!  |
