kinda inevitable with coco, since you don't want to let the top 1" dry before watering like soil. algea requires light.. it can't go into substrate.. you could remove the perlite on top, if you want... it serves no purpose there anyway. i've left it befoer and had no issues. i mostly fill reservoir, thouhg.. .top-fed may get stripped of a minor amount of nutrients, maybe? You can cover the top of the pot -- paper plates or something fancier that is made for the function.. blocking light will stop the growth in future. pain in the a@ to water, if not automated. i quit bothering, lol.

The algae appears in stagnant water. Either your pot has not enough drainage, your soil not enough either, you're watering too much or too often, your room isn't warm enough to evaporate properly or your fan is not exchanging enough air. Check these things 👍🌱

The algae indicate a stagnation of water and an infiltration of light ... Obviously, as you are cultivating it, therefore I advise you to put some aluminum foil around the pot and to irrigate the plant a little less. And in a few days the algae will die

Let it dry longer between watering. Next time add in perlite to help with drainage. Happy growing! 👊
