High Po4 would feed algae, green long hair, red slime, all kinds of algae. I dont think Po4 would kill fish. | |

How much is a "little high?"
Do you have a ground probe? A submerged motor or the like could have put some stray voltage into the tank?? Test it if you don't have a probe. Just IMO, anyone else can chime in at any time  ! | |
