I wouldn't say its low nutrient system but it remains under 5ppm. My whole system is somehow very well balanced; problem arises when I try to disturb something like sandbed and I get nitrate spike.

I should say I am really lucky with the tap water. I never had any algae outbreak using tap water (other than diatom) or any problem with it. Even dKh remains 9 to 10.
