Phosphates
- phosphates result from decaying matter (e.g. fish food)
and from the water source. If your water naturally has a high level of
phosphate, you will need to use a phosphate remover to treat it after
water changes. You may also consider reducing the amount of food you
give your fish.
Ÿ
Nitrates
- As the amount of fish waste rises so do the nitrates. Make
sure to perform regular water changes, check your filter is clean and
adequate for your aquarium size and do not overstock it.
Other things to try:

Use a UV water steriliser. Algal cells are damaged by the harmful UV
light so continuous use should ensure clear water at all times.
