When is the last time you changed out your rez? Your rez should have almost no smell. Do you have a fan blowing on them?

Your rez is outdoors? Algae is green and easily identifiable. Try picking up some H202 35% and add it at 1.7ml/L to your rez.

Not a good sign I would change out your reservoir and clean it out really well. Pick up some H202 and add it as directed to prevent any further pathogen build up.
