Ok I used aluminum tape over the top of the res, hopefully its light proof now. I also put up a few more cfls with reflectors on them like roseman has and they seem shine more light. Finally I put a rolled up wet towel on the res top along with 2 cups of water. Tomorrow I will grab a manifold and make an bubbleponics system.

Here you go. I think I need some styrofoam plates to better block light around the net pots.

Whereas bubbleponics seems to be the preferred method to get beans off to a fast start in life, after a week or two of growth it's no longer needed and there's no difference between bubbleponics and DWC.

That being said, perhaps the extra water movement from the pond pump combined with your additional light-proofing and H2O2 treatments would help in your algae extrication.

Good luck - I'm also battling algae (very mild case), but that shit sucks.
