Nutrient-rich lakes or ponds may support rapid growth of blue-green algae (algae blooms). Blue-green algae are actually bacteria. They are called cyanobacteria after the blue-green pigments that they produce.
The most common color for algae is green or red, but there are certain breeds (carotenoids) that can have yellow, brown, or even orange coloration.
Yellow algae, also known as mustard algae, is a type of algae that commonly grows in swimming pools. It appears as yellow or mustard-colored patches or streaks on pool surfaces, walls, or steps. It can be recognized by its slimy texture and ability to cling to surfaces, as well as its resistance to brushing and chlorine treatment.
red algae can be when you scratch it and then when you scratch it to much there can be a problem!
A yellow-green alga is an alga of the class Xanthophyceae, which contain both yellow pigments and chlorophyll.

Test your water for phosphates. Leaves contain it and phosphates are a growth nutrient for algae. Always use a sodium bromide based algaecide when dealing with yellow algae. (Yellow/brown/mustard algae is chlorine resistant.)
Beacause chlorine is not being put in which is making it turn yellow :)
Zooxanthellae is microscopic yellow-green algae. It has been theorized that zooxanthellae ( pronounced) zo·o·xan·thel·lae, living inside the tissues of the coral contributes to its brilliant color.

Too much sunlight on the tank!!
Sounds like mustard algae. Usually happens after a lot of rain or warm weather.
