Hallo,
Das ist der Link mit dem wissenschaftlichen Bericht.

"Light is the most limiting factor for algal growth, followed by nitrogen and phosphorus limitations. Algal productivity is often correlated to levels of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) (See N
ratio, above), but other nutrients are required including carbon, silica, and other micronutrients."
(University of California Davis Center for Environmental and Water Resources Engineering. Report No. 99-04. Report 236 pp.")

That's less high than you think, you must suppose there is a slow release
of that "10" P.

I think all aquatic plants needs very low concentration of ALL the
nutrients cuz they come from places where the water is very very similar to
osmotic water. The total conductivity of that water is extremely low if
compared with our tap water.

Yes. If ALL the nutrients are present in a relatively HIGH concentration,
you should have an algae bloom.
> Does algea utilisize Phosphate better than the plants?
I suppose not. PLants have two major advantages on algae:
1) they can uptake nutrients from the substrate by roots, which algae can't
2) They can store and mobilize later many nutrients in a better way algae
can.

It's better if you put the phosphate in the substrate of course. Where it's
relatively unavailable to algae.

Yes, indeed. No way! Plants NEED phosphorus for their growth.

That would be a BIG mistake. You must find a balance. Your tank should be
pout in the condition to be phosphate LIMITED and NOT phosphate ABSENT !
LIMITED means that almost all the phosphate available is taken by plants
and so little is still available for algae that they can barely survive or
even die. So you won;t have any algae bloom but maybe just a little
presence of them.

Weiter habe ich eine Seite gefunden, auf der eine "Algenwolke" an einem sonst recht algenfreien Fluss vorkommt. Diese stammt daher, dass sich an der Stelle eine "Waschstelle" der Einheimischen befindet, an der viel Phosphat ins Wasser kommt.
