Sounds about right... algae on the glass is part of the hobby.

It happens to all of us. You are just going to have to keep cleaning it every few days!

In my case, it’s been going for 9 months

This is completely normal and a sign of a properly maturing tank.

Here's a double post from a similar thread...


Yep...yep..don't be fooled by R2R tank of the month or Reef Keeping Magazine Reef of the Month....

Read the full article and the fine print...these people literally get up every morning and Scrub glass, clean the sandbed etc...it's work to get to that level....even if you have the best tank in the world that does its own good business....there is always work to be done.

Yeah sounds about right. Thankfully I only clean the glass one a week. Higher light and nutrient system will have this problem
