I have adjusted the spectrum in August to shut off red pads and reduce whites to 20%. I threw away my old test kits today and am awaiting my new ones. I did have some livestock die off around the end of August which very well could have been a spike. But I never tested at that point as I almost packed it in at that point and be the time I decided to keep with it it had passed

definetly noticing deterioration at this point. the algae strains are approx half the length of when I started. not noticing any new growth anywhere in the tank. everything is seeming happy.

This is good news!

I am glad this is working out - I am beginning to think that we are not chasing a current problem but the aftermath of a raise in nitrates that happened recently.

Algae is pretty resilient and once the requirements are met to begin growth, Algae can sustain itself be-it slowly off small amounts of nutrients added to the tank.
