>> risk of the lower borate levels is that it's a nutrient at such low levels, though not usually as limiting as phosphates and nitrates. However, if one is maintaining a proper FC relative to their CYA level, then this shouldn't matter. Somwhere around 30-50 ppm, the algaecidal levels of borates kick in for many algae and slow down their growth.

would low borate (last test at 20 ppm) account for high phosphate (400) reading ? CYA at 40, FC is 5.0, pH is 7.6, TA is 120 and CH is 300
water is crystal clear, even at night and pump runs 24/7 at 900 rpm.
