35. Exactly, algae needs sunlight to grow

Doesn't algae turn green because of photosynthesis? Doesn't photosynthesis need light?

Where is the light coming from inside the pipes? Somethings fishy about this story of algae building up inside pipes.

Me thinks the water was pumped from some open sources of water that had algae in it already. Just another scam by pedo Trump and his oligarchs.

My animal waterers never build up algae when they are kept in the dark. Humph, maybe pedo Trump has special algae?
