Greenlyfe: I feel your pain. I too have had algae bloloms in my reservoir and I found a few things that helped. One, flush you baby's roots in clean water while you scrub your tub air stones and lines, anything and everything in the tub. I used a shower head on the roots and a lot of dish soap on everything else. Just make sure it all gets thoroughly rinsed. Then refill with a new batch of nutes and a dose of hydrogen peroxide. I don't use the 35% medical grade like Rube does because the lower grade 3% is safer to use and available everywhere . I keep a teaspoon per gallon of the 3% H2O2 and that works for me.
What I did see is that your net pots are uncovered and light getting into your tub will get things going. You can get white plastic net pot caps for about fifty cents a piece at a hydro store and they block out most of the light. Your plants are still small so they should be easy to install. You naturally have algae in water, microscopic plant life, that in the presence of light, with all those wonderful warm nutrients you're using, allow them to reproduce or bloom. Block out the light, monitor your pH, keep the reservoir cool and clean and you shouldn't have as much problem in the future.
