Looks like all the nitrate is gone after 3 days... not that great of a phosphate scrubber by the looks of it, did a little but not much... maybe it would have been better with more light... what was the size of your macro-algae ball? And I see the colors but what was the number for the nitrate for intro?

Very interesting. Pretty much what I would expect to see. I have done some research on terrestrial plants and for every 100 grams of N taken up only about 6.7 grams of P are used for growth with the caveat that all other essential nutrients are in adequate supply. I would expect that marine plants would have the same patterns of uptake but I could be wrong!

 Amazing that something so simple works so well, no messing with flow, anaerobic zones, advection, biodiversity etc. Not to say that I won't be trying other methods, but I may finally be able to start adding some corals to my tank soon. I've turned on the maxijet connected to the tank to exchange water and start over. This time I've added a 13w compact fluorescent that I will run 24/7....lets see how it goes. Current Setup  Difficult to get numbers from the API Nitrate test kit. 0-10ppm (shades of yellow) 20ppm (orange) 40-160+ (shades of red)  There still is that phosphate problem though?
