Yeah you should have increased the intensity a while back, have you ever ran it higher than 6 o'clock? I'm guessing no, because your screen is stark white underneath, which tells me that the algae isn't anchored very well (or your flash is super bright) and this could be part of the reason.

The odd part is that the yellow goo/slime you show prior to swiping it is (usually) indicative of too much light, but I don't think that's the case here - there might be something else not light-related that is causing this. Upping the intensity might cause that to do away.

I would bump intensity up to 4 o'clock. Not 3 o'clock, not yet. Just a precaution
