At the moment, unless I can nail down a definite PO4 defficiency, I'm not going to bother with it for now. PO4 is an enigma for me. It's needed, but not too much not too little.

Thanks Reiverix, for input. Have you observed some deficiancies for KNO3 and therefore increased? What's your fullpulse now?
Any special reason for using Kent's trace mix if it's so diluted? Maybe I overdose with TMG then..
Or maybe it's the lack of CO2 in my case? And it appeared after I adressed the macronutrients? Maybe I should install more powerheads - as it is now i have about 20 times the entire volyme turnover per hour - could it be inadequate for supplying all the CO2 to the algaes? I know it could be a long shot, but who knows..
