How can I make my pictures bigger?

Hi Joel,

You're posting the thumbnail photos, you need to post the larger version. Also make sure you use the img tags, its the little yellow photo icon.

I'll fix it for ya

I agree, Greg. Also, there is no encrusting on the base, so depending on how long you've had them, could be an indicator of a problem (high PO*)

I just added phos-zorb to remove the phosphate if there is any.
I should not trust my test kit.
I do have a bit of algae so from what I can tell I must
have a bit of phosphate. Is that the only thing that
algae need to grow?

Well, algae will use the nitrates too. But not all are measureable, dissolved organics may be breaking down at the same rate as the nutrients are getting used, so even though you measure no NO3 or PO4, doesn't mean it isn't there.
