I have an established 50-gallon aquarium. Ammonia or nitrite levels have never been present, and nitrates are generally between 1-5 ppm. In addition to the presence of nitrates and moderate light, my tap water also has high concentration of phosphorus, resulting in green water formation within a day of water changes.
Is there any real solution to this, besides the stop-gap measures of light deprivation or the drastic adoption of R/O filtration? Are micron cartridges or diatom filters any good, or simply quick fixes? Thanks so much!
