is it possible that there is algae in the water after 24 hours of mixing with age old grow and superthrive?

is seems to be a bit cloudy and i was just hoping its normal nute coloring...

id also like to add that the PH has become unstable in the mixing water aswell, its being pulled from 6.4-over 7 within an hour. like .1 every 10-15 minutes.

i know RO water doesnt have buffers in it, but why so unstable?

i don't see why algae couldn't grow in RO water, there's no disinfectant in it. can you block t out the light to prevent algae from growing?

sorry, but i don't know about the pH question...
