| Re: chillers and algae I dont see a lower temp having anything to do with algea growth. You might slow it down if the temp was below 50 or so. the stuff grows under the polar ice cap. |

| Re: chillers and algae The real way to get rid of algea is to eliminate its food source phosphates,nitrates and amonia. And maybe a reduction in the length of the photo period.Or get a few critters to eat it. |
