amino acids that compose DNA and RNA.

Did you mean nucleic acids? Interestingly, phosphate esters are also in the structure of DNA, but that is getting a bit too intensive for the sake of this discussion. No trying to be a smart a**, just wanted to clarify (honestly, I don't remember if there are any amino acids in the structure of RNA or DNA).
Am I missing something else here... Are high levels of phosphates toxic to our fish or inverts? If the primary concern is their ability to promote massive amounts of algae growth, then I am not "in the dark" and I would say that nitrogen is still my primary concern but if in fact I have missed something, then I might change my mind.
Also, I know Nikki mentioned it in another thread but does anyone know anything about xenia's absorption of PO4 and perhaps the use of xenia vs. macro?
