(On a more serious note, if this is happening to you then you're not following the instructions to clean the device and replace the filter once a month.)

Yeah, because I'm doing it more frequently. I think it's the design of this particular one. I've seen other comments say the same thing (on a video about how to clean it thoroughly, disassembling pump and everything).

Does it get sunlight from a nearby window? Algae loves raw sunlight.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I only give my algae bagged sunlight

If water is in the bowl it'll only drink if it's moving, but if it's anywhere else than it can be dirty

Bonus points for toilet water, and water from my foot bath when I go into the other room.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Close the door when you go into the other room then like bruh

I've got a dog that stays outside most of the time, she will not drink the clean water I set outside if there are any puddles in the mud and gravel

That is mud, you're drinking mud.

You’re right, and it may be cringey, but I just call myself a dog dad usually so I just went with that instinct when I made the meme
