oh, there is algae in there......little bit o volonia here and there....and some kind of caulerpa algae growing in the eggcrate at the top of the overflow......you just need to be selective about composition with your pictures so as to not get any algae in the shot

Lol why do you think most of my shots are of the exact same angles? Maybe if I start to embrace the algae and secretly love it... it will perish. Won't Murphy's Law or something like that come into effect?
