Cyano and Bubble Alg. with zero PO4/NO3?

Hello, Thanks for getting back to me. I’m currently using Red Sea test kits for P04 and NO3. I’ll pickup new ones in case these are bad. I’ll also test my tank and RO/DI water with the new kits as a confirmation. Typically, I use different brands for different tests. My CA and Silica tests are Red Sea, Copper, pH Ammonia and Nitrite is Aquarium Pharmaceuticals, KH is Nutrafin, but I’ve got a Salifert backup on that, Strontium and Magnesium are Seachem, and Iodine is Salifert. Does WWW have any recommendations regarding which brands are most reliable? Regarding the biological filter — that makes sense that it would be removed.
