Do you realize plants remove PO4 very rapidly?
I dose 3ppm of PO4 per week to my tanks.

I have no algae. I've dose PO4 for over a decade, no algae.
I'd reconsider your entire approach to algae.

Focus on plant growth, not algae.
Healthy plants = no algae.
So give the plants what they need.

I'll second what Tom says here.

I dose P weekly, it comes automatically with my tapwater. I just
calculate my change volume according to how much P I need.

I've had no problems with algae over the short life of my tank since
keeping P and N up.
