Hello my Hydropis, today i cut back my Tomato and switched the Reservoir to one thats dark. Did the algae become a Problem?
No, but it wasn’t nice to look up and every time i had to reach in, the slime was on anything…

Here’s my cut off:
And lastly some new Pics of my Growroom :)
Ive actually been experimenting with using aquatic snails like nerites, ramshorns and pond/bladder snails to help control algae and detritus buildup in hydroponics.
So far pond/bladder snails have proven to be ineffective as they tend to feed on the plant roots as much as anything else but ramshorns have proven pretty successful.
