This has been a very puzzling problem, and I think I have tried the typical "lower the TA" thing, and I still have the pH drifting up rapidly and need to add acid every few days. So, into the deep end. Two days ago, after lowering the pH to 7.2 and aerating it back up to 7.4, I was already...

Thanks for the replies... I'd like to get some more thoughts on algaecide... First an update... I believe (another Leslie test, that my phosphates are 100, its always 100) but I doubt I lave low phosphates inhibiting the algae. Also, the Frog has been unused for months, and I assume its a...
