How come algae don't grow well with the redfield ratio?
In order to prevent large algae growth in aquariums you need a specific nitrate - phosphate ratio. Better known as the redfield ratio.
The redfield ratio says something about the relation between the concentrations of Nitrate Phosphate and Sulfate in Phytoplankton.
How come algae don't grow well in an environement which is similar to the intercellulair contents of phytoplankton?
Actually, they do grow well, just as they do in nature. The ratio also mimics the nutrient content of ocean water. When you supply the proper ratio of nutrients, the algae grow as they should. Too many nutrients cause the algae to over-grow. This can cause oxygen depletion in your aquarium during dark hours, which is definitely not good for the fish.
