By scraping, do you remove it by siphoning out of your tank or just clean with magnet cleaner and the scum goes back into your filter and the phosphate/nitrates get recycled for next algae bloom.

Do you use R0/DI water? tap water contain alot of nutrients to fuel nuisance algae growth.

Do you use a protein skimmer?

Does your tank face the sun?

How old is your tank system?

I think its best u post a pix of the algae + list specs of your tank. Other factors like no. of fishes, over-feeding, aging of filter materials may also contribute to algae growth.

gouldian: no more. Jus sitting around waiting for $ to drop fr the trees
