Its supposed not to like KH2PO4 being added to the tank, but I get it in my tanks that I add KH2PO4 to, so who knows. Don't really think there is much you can do. A think Nerite snails will eat it and I certainly dont get it in my tanks that have Nertie snails, but thats only a solution if you dont have loaches in the tank.

BTW - you have a lot of light for just two yeast co2 kits. Do you know the co2 level in the tank? For a 90gal I'd want a pressurised CO2 kit. How new is the tank and whats the plant growth been like?

It's not just PO4, it's also CO2.

You need both in good concentrations to prevent it.
