just becuase a test kit is reading zero nitrates and phosphates doesnt mean they arnt there it just means the algae is consuming them at the same rate of production

algae is a good indicator both are present

im dealing with hair algae that is growing at 1/2" a day and i havent had any fish in the tank for weeks
