I get a brown algae outbreak everytime I add some phytoplankton to my tank.
Phytoplankton is from Canada Copepods and I did the recommended dose once and got the outbreak. I thought maybe my tank was going through a cycle so I waited several months before trying it again and got a brown algae outbreak again.
Anyone else experience this?
My phosphate is a bit on the higher end and low nitrates but the other parameters are ok.
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0.2 ppm (refugium might be too efficient)
Phosphate 0.14 ppm
Ca 420
Alk 8
Mg 1280
Thanks
