It appears I have algae or something. Does anyone know what this is and, if so, how to get rid of it? Thank you so much for the assistance. pics attached. Plants seem fine btw.

Maybe show the inside too

And clear tube will let in light and create goopies

Most those level measure tubes are blue that I've used or seen

And yes that's bad

Keep it clean

Maybe wrap those clear hoses or something to eliminate the algae

Thank you! I am an everyday plant attention person and change the water/nutes weekly. 5 Grows in and this is a first but it makes sense (water and light, why not algae).

Much appreciated Bob!

Water, light and loads of nutrients! There’s a river out here that runs thru the heart of wine country and all the fertilizer runoff from the wineries causes crazy algae blooms all the way to the pacific.
