Reconstituting RO water

Well, the RO filter is used for drinking water mainly around the house. I've read a few other of your posts and I am beginning to think that putting RO water in the tank is just wasting a lot of my time. Did I read right that a moderate phosphate level can actually control algae?

In any case, RO for my drinking water will keep cancer-causing chemicals out of the water that I drink.

Thanks for the insight Tom
 
Moderate to high levels of PO4 doesn't control algae.

Good plant growth does. PO4, NO3 etc is indirect help for algae control.

The notion is that adding POO4 indirectly affects algae through the good growth of plants and the higher DO levels that are present when you have a happy plant.

It's really deceivingly simple, grow the plants well, everything else does well as a result(no algae, healthy fish, happy hobbyist etc).

I watched my plants, not the algae for a long time. What people were saying was wrong about PO4 and did not match what I was seeing nor did they have as nice plants/good growth like my tanks.

I suppose I could have kept it a secret and sold my secret in bottles. "Algae reducer":-)
