Algae in humidifier - how big a problem?
    #26523812 - 03/08/20 11:53 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Hey guys.

I've set up a GH for fruiting and i'm using a humidifier to keep up the RH.
But ... a couple a weeks ago i found that there's growing algae inside of it and inside the tube going into the GH.

How big a problem is this? Should i bleech the entire thing everytime i fill up with water or? I cleaned it with alcohol the first time i saw it.

Thanks!

I guess there's nothing else to to!

but i think it'll be okay once every week. Its not that bad now, from last week actually.

Nothing a little H2O2 can't fix,  bleach is unnecessary.

A dash H202 and a drop of iodine in the water can’t hurt. Scrub it. Algae grows with water and light. I have fish tanks and there is no way around it. Algae usually means you have waste buildup.
