    Green and purple algae

    Thank you Caliban07!..I believe you are correct!. I did a Google search for pics and there it is. In most of the pics it seems to be a complete nuisance ...

    API Filstar filter

    I have an api canister running for 2 years now with no issues. I also have not changed the sponges at all... I just rinse them in tank water...
