:100::100:hi happy fathers day where it applies.
can anyone tell me what effect high phophate has on my pond
amonia 0 ph 7.0 nitrate 0 phosphate 10

More algae. Do you have any live plants in the pond? The plants should absorb most of the phosphate.

 

[johnfs1]

more alge? yesterday was alot more sun out filter seemed to clog overnight
had to clean them may need more sun thank you for replies

 

[BBK]

Algae feeds on phosphates in the water.

 

[johnfs1]

[BBK]

Live plants will fix it.

Another reason why I don't fertilize my plants. They grow so fast as it is, I can't sell them fast enough and my trash cans are full every week with excess.

What was the repeat of my message for?

 

[koiguy1969]

i ve seen more than a few repeats of my posts too...please stick to posting original thoughts... that partial post from Dr Dave doesnt even make sense unless your keeping phosphates in trash cans and selling them. lol
