Yep, that is metals in the water, algae would be cloudy green.

Looks like other pictures of iron in the water that I've seen.

ok cool thanks! so as long as i keep FC in range algae shouldnt bloom?

 

[PridgNYC]

Yes. I'd get some sequestrant in there too (and remember to add the maintenance doses) so you can have nice clear blue water. That way you'll be able to detect an algae bloom without mistaking it for the metals.

Ok and is it ok to swim after i add the sequestrant

 

[PridgNYC]

sure, you can swim now, the sequestrant will just force the metals to go back into solution so they don't tint the water, it doesn't actually remove them.
