My cheato algae has all but dissapeared from my sump and I seem to have green slimey algae in my tank.could new Radions be causing
algae growth? Nitrates near zero Phoshates less than .25. Any ideas?

    Green slime algae as in green cyano bacteria? It can bloom this time of year. Lots of sunlight, less shade due to the leaves falling off the trees...

    Kitch, let's see a picture. That sounds a lot like Dinoflagellates.
