How to cure mould/algea in the bottom of my grow container +REP

hi im just wondering how i cure mould/algea thats growing in the bottom of my grow container and up onto my hydroton??
Does it hurt the plants??
cheers

Is this DWC? The algae isn't harmful until it gets bad. Are you flowering or in veg? Do you also have mold?

sorry no its ebb and flow, im in veg and its green stuff in the bottom of the container and its starting to move onto the hydroton

I recommend plugging up any holes or transparent parts to stop light from reaching the resevoir. Clean the resevoir really well and also add a small amount of hydrogen peroxide to the resevoir.

Algae has a hard time living with out light. No light = no algae. Algae itself isn't much of a problem. It can clog air stones and pumps, it can eat nutrients and mess with the PH, but it doesn't directly harm plants. Eventually it can attract fungus knats, which after a while can cause real problems, such as worms in your roots.

Dutch master Zone does a great job at discouraging algae and any other microbes, including beneficial ones. If you are running all chem nutes and no organics/bennies, then Zone is cheap, effective and a bottle lasts forever.
