Phytoplankton growing in tank?
Hello fellow reefers. I have a question. Could it be possible to have Phytoplankton grow in out tanks? Reason I ask is lately I have been noticing a green algae growth on my glass over night. I scrape it off at night and the next morning it’s growing on the glass again. Could I be wrong? I did dose DT's phyto in the past. Thanks , Danny.

Since my tank is running with very very low nutrient I get the same film every few days.

It’s not a film. I can’t remove it with a mag float. I have to scrape it off with a razor
