hi all algae on my tank

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
