So, I increased the lights and now lots more growth, some thick parts in places.
But in the three or so inches below the waterline, as you can see in the pictures, is a thick sludge of algae growing there too. Should I get rid of all of this, or let it keep growing until I clean out the screen? Is it not as beneficial as the algae that will grow on the screen? Of course, it's harder to clean too since the entire unit has to be taken off the wall (not a big deal though)
Is there a way to prevent algae from growing there? The light is above it, not in front, so it would have to be something on the inside of the scrubber.
Thanks!
