    Indeed!

    Now I see why you can see bubbles. My turfs wound not be enveloping like yours. Mine is more like um.. Astro turf. In your picture yours looks kinda like thick hair algae to me.

    Mine grew that very same algae. Mine also had started the turff on ist own. Once the turff got to were it is now, which is about half my screen. The algae you have, The algae I had, or HA doesn't grow on my scrubber any more. At least it hasn't in the past month. My algae is brownish red and doesn't seem to grow any longer then about a 1/4". When I clean mine I use the tips of my fingers and scrub it back and forth like if you were washing your hair. It breaks off in little pieces but never really leaves the screen.

    Yes, the algae can't filter what it doesn't touch, that's for sure. However if a person isn't using the "optimum" lighting schedual (3hrs on-2hrs off)to keep the algae in its peak usage state then they aren't too far out of the same relm.
