Marie - you just did a major re-aquascape that increased flow throughout your tank and should help with dead spots where algae gets a start and can thrive. Why not wait 6 weeks and see where you are with nuicance algae.
Change one thing at a time.

Your right, but it will be at least another 4 weeks before I'll have time to even think of additives. Who knows what I'll decide to do if my phosphates test as low as the nitrates

[marie]

I just heat tested my phosphates with an elos test kit that i've had for over a year (expiry date??) and it appears to be somewhere between .01 and .05...a hint of blue but not quite dark enough to be .05...I hate these stupid test kits

I orederd new test refills today supposed to have them Thusday.

Okay, My nitrates are 0.3ppm and my phosphates are 0.022 (heated) as per Dave's colorimeter....that seems awful low considering I haven't done a water change in at least 3 weeks

Dave was just over to test the water.

The nitrate tested at .3 ppm
Unfortunately he had ran out of the phosphate reagent so I will have to wait for that
