If you are managing algae, then you have a never ending battle. You have to ELIMINATE the algae. Phosphates are algae food. Eliminate the algae, then it doesn't matter your phosphate level. The important part of a SLAM is the M...MANTAIN. You cannot dump a load of chlorine in and expect it to take care of the alage. The 3 criteria for when a SLAM is complete
You are done when:
CC is 0.5 or lower;
You pass an OCLT (ie overnight FC loss test shows a loss of 1.0 ppm or less);
And the water is clear.
When all three are true, you are done SLAMing and can allow the FC to drift down to normal levels.
Rain does NOT cause algae...you had it the entire time and never COMPLETELY got rid of it.

I get all that. I’m just wondering if it may have been caused by very excessive rain diluting the stabilizer to the point of being non-existent, then resulting in a sharp drop in the FC, allowing the algae to take hold.
