Hey so i bought this tank from someone. A few years old, and tons of algea is growing. It just has a canister filter as of now, an fx6 and the tank is 100 gallons. I see 100s of videos of massive tanks with no algea and whatnot anywhere. Not the rocks or glass. I only give 8 hours of lighting a day. An hour of that is full on blue light. I dont overfeed at all and i clean the algea and its back in a single day. I have to clean it a toothbrush everyday. Usually even twice a day for around half an hour. It doesnt stop. Is this because i need better filtration, clean up crew, or something? Would a tang or two just help me keep it a little cleaner? I dont have a single algea eating fish right now.
Also the algea is brown hair algea
