cant get rid of reservoir algea, ideas please.

[Zandor]

Zandor, i am still having this problem. If there is something growing on the roots will the problem occur again when the water is changed and treated? is there a way to clean them? I know they are sensitive. I am at my wits end with hydro.

If it were showing on the air stones and the outside of the airlines I would guess it might not be alga. You could have nutrient residue or something else? Have you given any thought to that?

Are the plants showing sign of problems from the alga or what ever it is?

Do the roots have odor?

I have tried H2O2 and i swear i have light proofed the damn thing. The algea has changed over weeks though. At first it made the surfaces in the tub slippery. Not now. Now it grows along the hose, elbows, and the air stone. Its is light in color and looks like snot. its kinda nasty. Why the hell cant i get rid of it? Rating: 5
