Before I started messing around with PO4 removers my PO4 was always around 1.5 ppm. I had terrible red slime algae all over the tank. Since I started reducing my PO4, when it got down below 1.0 ppm, the algae on the glass was brown. When it got below say .05 ppm, the algae on the glass is now green.

I'm hoping pretty soon it will be clear. :D

Yes, different species thrive under different conditions. It sounds like you are making good progress! :)
