Freedom of choice, yes we understand all that.
Again sorry for any demeaning that might have been done, I was trying to get at the heart of the answer. Although tough to accept I think by seeing the results first-hand it might make it easier.
Actually after reading the thread for the first time & before making any posts I concluded this. Our feedings provide the nutrients & trace elements for macro & any photosynthetic growth. Our lights provide the energy input which drives the photo life in our tank, which builds up over time. Overtime this energy input manifests itself & without any way of exporting this it will create further problems.
Your special grow in the dark bacteria are very special. Since they do not obtain their energies through light, but rather through the acquisition of other existing energies (such as our photosynthetic macros, or detritus). I was not thinking in terms of turgor or phosphates, & obviously could not mention this because it did not support my cause.
I am understanding how phosphates fit into this a little better now with all the help that was provided, but I still have some difficulties. Some of the questions that I have asked were simply brushed away, because they are not that easily explainable.
