Green algae. A lot of people don’t use clear pots for that reason, the light promotes algae growth.  
You can mix hydrogen peroxide into your water, this actually increases oxygen availability at the roots but you can kill off good bacteria in the process.

Typical hydrogen peroxide is 3% but you need to dilute to 0.5% before adding to plants, you can google a calculator on how much water to add to dilute to the right amount

Adding this to my mental list.

I love when people incorporate rocks into their plant displays, looks so nice. Nice job, wish you linked your plant so I could see how cool it looks!
