So I am fighting algae. Here is my question. Could my RO/DI water storage contribute to algae in my tank? I initially store the water from the ro/di unit in a 5-6 gallon plastic container. The transfer could be right when full or after a few weeks. It is red with the yellow nozzel. Reminds me of a gas can. Then I transfer from there to empty salt mix buckets where they sit with open top for a week or three or until needed.
The RO/DI are new. I'm using phosban/guard what ever and that stays mostly ahead of the algae on the glass but on the rocks it keeps growing. My bottom is bare though I could be more religious about siphoning the tank and the sump.
Thanks for your time.
