    Yea im kinda figuring that it is comming from the rocks. P04 that is so im sure being that it is comming from them sometime in there history it looks like they had lots of P04 in the system. Now if my thinking is correct here eventully the turf algae will starve the rocks of P04 and then that will be the end of this correct ?

    I know there is no phospates in the water I have a BRS reactor running with new rowaPhos and have never had too much problem with it. But still have had problems with Green Hair and now this red turf. So im starting to think that the rocks are leaching it and that once they leech it all this should end

    Am I correct in thinking this ?
