    Is looking good. It is not burning, so more light might help.

    When you clean you should be able to see the screen material. Algae will remain in the holes.

    Congrats redadeath, it looks like you finally have good growth. Your perseverance is admirable. I think most people would have given up long before now.

    Re: dark grean powder algae

    hi santa tommotrow will be my 7 days
    i will post the oicture before cleaning

    but i have quistion
    if the algae that is inder the green is dying becasue the green is blocking the whole ligh
    so if i cleaned the green i will have only dead roots on the screen and i think there will be no growth
    is that right??
    i am afraid of cleaning so i remove all the green and i leave the dead attached to the screen

    plesae correct my idea

    thank king of green

    Remove all, especially the dead. It will grow back quick.

    Looks good.

    As you can see, only the middle of the screen is filtering, because the light is concentrated there. If you can get light to all parts of the screen, it will filter even more.
