Also, alge, I guess you'd have to use some form of prevention for that as well?
Oh oh oh, one last thing (I promise!!), the filter you had on the line, I used to use those, the holes in it are pretty large, they wouldn't stop much crud from getting into the lines would they?

these chux aren't being subjected to the machanical stress/wear that sink chux would endure, so they should last a fair while, should get a year out of them at the very least, they are mostly synthetic.
Green algae doesn't occur but a thin light brown slimy deposit does eventually form on the objects in the res, however I've found that the treatments for it are more trouble than their worth, and simply do a strip down and clean quartley or whenever's needed.
the mesh in the filter does stop quite a bit, should see all the crud it collects when I clean it, anything that's small enough to get through is small enough to pass through the block without getting stuck.
