Actually, they don't. They FEED the algae but do not CAUSE the algae. Algae spores are everywhere in the water ( fresh, salt, tap, well, ocean, land) and just need the proper environment for them to grow into the wonderful colored messes we all hate. ( Grrrr) So I think Sk3lly gets this one because of the word "cause".
Ya but if there aren't excess nutrients in the water the they don't grow, strictly speaking sw here though. If you keep your nitrate and phosphate in check then you get no algae growth
