Every thing was going good in my tank until recently and i cannot pin point the problem. i am having an aggressive algea/cyano growth in my tank and cannot locate the source of it..

ph 8.1
nitrites 0
magnesium. 1250
kh/alk 11.8
calcium 415
ammonia 0
nitrate .2ppm
salinity 1.025
phosphates - 0 < this is the first one i check even bought a newer test and ro/di water and tank water is coming up 0 in hi and low range test
info about my 40 breeder setup
1. have deep sand bed in my sump with cheato and 5 red mangroves not fully grown out yet
2. i am running two reactors one with phosban and one with Esv Carbon
3. currently only have 1 clownish and one damsel in tank rest are in quarantine . i am currently fighting ICK but i haven't got around to catching those two for quarantine, they are not sick though.
4 .flow i have a koralia #3 and koralia #1. and return is mag 9.5 split between 2 3/4 inch locline returns..
5. lights are 6 bulb tek t5 with 1 month old ati bulbs
