I've been dealing, or trying to deal, with some increased algae lately. I had attributed this problem to new lights, and essentially the more effective use of what nutrients were already present, not necessarily increased nutrients, as I'm really not measuring any.
Well, today when cleaning my skimmer overflow I realized the air outlet, full of what was supposed to be dry GAC, was sopping wet, actually pooling water. This was preventing normal air flow and skimming action.
Skimmer's going gangbusters now. Feeling pretty silly. Guessing my algae is going to die back pretty quick now.
