I just started getting algae in my tanks, nothing has changed water quality wise or adding anything to the tank.
the only difference I can come up with is our "colder" weather, normally the room temp and tank temp differs by about 3-4 degrees during the spring to fall, now with South Texas winter coming on, the room temp will drop to around 70 with the tank temps staying around 78-80.
So, could the change from 3-4 to 8-10 degrees difference cause a bit of algae to form on the tank? We don't get slow changes in temperature we get sudden drastic changes; like tomorrow, Sunday, it will be 85F, Monday it will be 65F
