I commonly dose 1ppm of PO4 [ ... ] Adding more is not going to give you
more algae or
plants beyond their intital needs/storage.
Algae need far less nutrients than the plants do also.

N:P ratios for aquatic plants= 10:1. FW algae= 14:1.
More PO4 will favor the plants.

This is myth about PO4 = algae in planted tanks.

Now I am royally confused! I've been working very hard to control algea
through limiting phosphate. How is it done otherwise?

Thanks
