my livestock is still too minimal and overfeeding doesnt produce enough trates. when my macro algae go white/pale they are starving. i dose and within 1 day they are back to red. hopefully when the tank matures some more i wont need to dose as much, if any.
Oh! and i use tap as my top off because i want algae. the macro algae are more efficient at absorbtion than micro or pest/nuisance algae therefore they outcompete the micro algae. thus leaving me with a near algae free tank.
