Hi. My screen's been up and running for about 2-3 weeks now and seemed to be making reasonable progress but suddenly this yellow algae has caught hold. I did see the previous thread that says it's down to reduced fow but this is happening in the middle of the sheet where it has a good, visible layer of fast flow over it. It seemed to start in the centre and work it's way out as a central band. Right near the edges the screen is greener. Basically it seems to be in the higher light intensity area. (I have 2 18W 2700K CFL lamps about 4" apart (centre to centre) per side on an 8" x 10" screen. Distance from screen to lights is about 2" (splash guards in between). PC fan blowing down over the screen.
Does this make sense to anyone who knows what this algae is and it's growth requirements?
