What does algae need to grow?
Algae needs water, light, and minerals like phosphate and nitrate to grow.
Can you imagine any disadvantage in adding soluble phosphate to household products?
There's a big disadvantage: phosphate is a fertilizer that causes overpopulation of algae and water weeds.
What things in the ocean eat algae?
Algae eats a lot of things. But being a plant you can be sure that it creates its own food through photosynthesis. However, algae needs extra nutrients to help it along. Cheif among these are 2 things 1. Nitrates - produced through the nitrogen cycle, fish waste (ammonia) is converted by bacteria into nitrite, which is then converted by other types of bacteria into Nitrate. Algae will use nitrate as a fertilizer. 2. Phosphate - Phosphate can be found in many things, but certain types of algae begin to thrive when enough phosphate is present. So that's what algae eats.
Does algae need sleep?
no because algae is a type if seaweed
What is the name of VPO4?
KPO4 does not exist. PO4 has a 3- charge, and K has a 1+ charge. So, you need to have K3PO4 to have potassium phosphate.
What does algae need to grow?
Algae needs water, light, and minerals like phosphate and nitrate to grow.
How do you raise phosphate levels in a pool?
You don't normally want to raise phosphate levels in your water. Phosphates are food for algae. You want to keep the phosphate below 125ppm to help prevent algae from growing in your pool. GO TO JACKS MAGIC WEBSITE AND READ DR. NEIL LOWRY'S PAPER ON PHOSPHATES. YOU WILL KNOW ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.
In a pond or lake the limiting factor that may affect the growth of algae is the level of dissolved?
Cause animals bacteria need it
A large amount of algae in a lake is a result of?
phosphate and nitrogen pollution

Is it better to have lots of phosphates or none?
As a swimming pool tech in Oklahoma, phosphate readings at 200 or above helps algae grow.
Does shampooing hair while in the swimming pool harm water chemistry?
You may be increasing the phosphate levels which promote algae growth.
What do algae need to suvive?
algae needs moisture and oxygen to grow.
What are the consequences of using phosphate in water?
It becomes harder to change the water's pH. The water becomes more likely to start growing algae.
