In my 2.5 gallon tank my filter cartridge is caked with algae. I replace them monthly but this is ridiculous. Within a week the entire cartridge is dark green.
I've replaced it 2x in maybe the last month. Does algae harm your water quality if its literally living IN your filter cartridge? I have an Aqueon 1 gallon filter in my 2.5 gallon
Also is there any way I can put the algae into good use? I heard fry like eating algae. Maybe I can put the whole cartridge in my main tank so my ghost shrimp and my mystery snail can eat the algae off it?
