algae help :'(

hey this is my first time growing in general and i chosen to try hydroponic . just ran into my first problem today i started smelling a weird smell past 2 days so just a min ago i dumped my water and there was algae built up on the side of the system and on the hoses a bit. how can i prevent algae? and also i had to take almost alot of it apart will my plants be okay? i didnt have any water on them or light on them for about 5mins but everythings back to normal again i have been growing them for exactly 6 days now.

pics of ur system?

Algae can not grow without light. Find a way to block the light and the algae will die.

okay thank you and that makes sense iv only planted 2 seeds to start out with so if i fuck up ill learn from my mistakes and from that i have 4 extra open holes that my light is beeming threw to my water so that makes sense. and sorry no pics lost my usb to my camera only been taking pics on my phone but my phone is a piece of shit.

Heisenberg said wat i was gonna get at

not only light but warm water (above 72*)will also help promote algae, cover the open holes & try to keep temps roughly 66 to 70 at most. Warm will grow a bit faster but you've already seen the consequences, add a few days with the cooler water but avoid the resulting headaches...my .2 worth
