FRESHWATER:
Okay, whew I went maybe up to a week OVER my usual harvest days.
HEAVIEST/most abundant amount of algae ever. The screen felt like it was easily 10+lbs, with a very slow water drip (most water had dripped out).
Basically, I'm not getting detachment. But when I go to harvest, I can just grab the bottom, and peel upwards and it comes right off. Long strips of it.
In some of the pictures, the screen mesh imprint can be seen in the algae. The strips are tight clumps.
And yeah, one of those pictures is like 90% of my big harvest in the toilet
It just recently started doing this on a new tank I put it on.
After I peel it all off, I still have small batches of algae hair left on the screen, so regrowth can complete in a week like usual.
Should I even be worrying about this? Or should I just enjoy what I have?
