    What are the leachates from algae?

    The only real potential issue I have come across with algae scrubbers, is possible leaking of leachates. What are they? Is it from people not cleaning the screen after seven days? I also read about gelbstoff which makes the water yellow. Is that the leachates their talking about? Can anybody clarify

    Properly-run scrubbers cause have no problem leaching, and do not cause yellowing, ever. But they must be cleaned every 7 days.
