Light + Water = Algae.

So yes, you'll get algae growing in on the inside of the tube over time.
BobBong Reviewed by BobBong on . Clear hosing a problem? I was looking around online and saw a few things about clear containers being exposed to light growing algae and stuff. I was wondering if the nutrient solution runs through plastic tubing and is exposed to the light if I will face the same problem? Thanks ahead of time! Rating: 5
