It’s not like crazy blowouts or anything just like weird greenish slime but kinda hairy looking in the flow. Mostly on the back glass and the glass on the bottom. Small amounts in random spots. It always goes away on its own around the same time all the pollen goes away. I live in the south and we have some nasty spring pollen. Like crazy yellow dust on everything, I can’t see or breathe horribleness. This happens every year as far as I can remember in my tank. Is tree pollen causing this? Anyone have this issue. Only change I have made in the last few months is adding a BRS CO2 scrubber, but that thing doesn’t seem to work anyway.
 
I get the pollen tea in my rain water collection tank. Taste is ok after going thru charcoal but a bit greenish to the eye. The tank water gets the rodi treatment so no off color, however I do get cyano both red and green. Not sure if its the air or the sun.

Thanks for the reply. Mostly just curious if it is going from the air in my house into the tank and growing into something. Such a weird thing.
