Moving canister filter to a new tank. Do I need to be concerned about algae?

[joelfernandes]

Hello all.

I'm setting up a new tank and will move a canister filter (biomaster 350) from a running tank to the new one. Do I need to be concerned about algae? The old tank has quite a lot hairy black/green algae all over the decor. I'm definitely cleaning the inflow and outflow pipes, but I wonder if the media will cause an algae outbreak in the new tank.

Thank you
