Cheers Loadie! The res has a water heater and is at a constant 26 degrees celcius (78.8 degrees Fahrenheit) and got a cap on it to prohibit light. The algae itself is growing on top of the platform that the plants sit on. I've taken your advice and things are looking good, not that they showed any effects yet but I didn't want to see any adverse effects at all!
Once again, cheers Loadie for your much needed advice,
Most hydroponic growers aim to keep their reservoir temperature at 20° Celsius (70° Fahrenheit) or cooler.
