pH and algae

[Mitch Rogers]

System is still cycling and  I have an algae bloom and high pH, are these two things related? I don't mind the algae as I had read the forums and it seems that it will clear up after awhile. Im just wondering if there is a link between the 2?

TC,

i'm having the same problem with pH being high at 8.0 now, if i get "Blackwater extract" do i add it over a couple of days or will it hurt to do it all at once?
