In the previous post you can see that the left side is more obviously Yellow/Green than the right..Here you can see it in the full tank shot...I have not harvested any algae in my refugium for 1 month now...could it be leaching and how much should I remove...Thanks again

the water should get mixed pretty well if you have good circulation. My guess is its the lighting. it happens all the time with halides i hear since they arent made the same. if you're using halides try switching the bulbs and see if that works

good activated carbon will take out the dissolved organics leeched by algae.

I'm stumped too.....I have been keeping reefs for over 15years and have never seen this in my other tanks...I'm leaning toward lighting too...but my last tank was a 180 gallon Reef with 250watt MH and never had this problem....plus when the Power Compacts are on with no MH lights the tint is still there....So I'm lost.......Thanks
