What sort of algae is this?

[Midway]

From what I know, skimmers do not take nutrients out of the water column, they take food out of the water before it breaks down and turns into nutrients. When food breaks down and turns into nutrients, then algae consumes it and that's how algae grows out of proportion in some tanks. You just need the algae concentrated in a place of the system to help out with high nutrients.

Didn't u say that u use tap water? Ppm will be up more right now with all the crap weather that's been around, maybe this is the cause of access nutrients.
