INoxia.. HI!

algae on top is very common for many growers and really is no big deal.. many growers try to do everything they can to stop it... but is no big deal.. there are even growers who have algae all over their roots... I personally would not tolerate it on the roots.. the only problem with algae is it takes oxygen from the water that should be going to you plants..

so if the algae is just on top (not in the water/reservoir), then it is no big deal..

the real problem is lack of O2 for your plants... this can cause root rot.... is your reservoir water also at 80+ degrees....? try to keep your reservoir at 70-75 degrees.. 80 is to hot..

O2 is everything..

algae is different than fungus or mold.. fungus and mold can not be tolerated at all!!!!!!!!!!
