I think the cheapest for me was amazon. I constantly have to fight shipping prices, and amazon offers "real" free shipping (unlike most others that exclude hawaii and alaska). But if you live in the lower 48 you can find places that don't charge you $40 for s&h. Yes, mh do have a "break in" period, but the visible color shift isn't going to be very dramatic. So if it fires up white, in 100 hours it isn't going to burn in and be blue later. Sounds like the brown algae is diatoms, which will go away on it's own time. The green algae you need to be a little more descriptive about it since that can be any number of types of algae.
