A few months ago I bought a bucket of Coralife salt after using IO for many years. Today I looked in my saltwater storage tank and there is a thin layer of black algae where the water touches the sides and bottom. I checked the RO tank and it is clean. Both tanks are opaque. I never had the problem before the salt change. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks for any input.
 
Are you sure its algae? Is it film like and slimey?
My mixing barrel has a slight tint to it after 2 years. Its not algae, just some build upchemical residue.
