Is there a way to get rid of green dust algae? Daily I have to clean the glass to remove this dust like algae. I checked all my parameters and everything is good. I just can't get rid of it for some reason. I'm I doing something wrong? Thanks

It's 4 months old. So fairly new.
I think that you just have to keep cleaning the glass. There is likely no such thing as a remedy nor is there anything wrong with the aquarium. It sounds like this algae is mobile. When you clean the glass the algae cells are dispersed and then return shortly afterwards.

Well you could sell the tank :)

It's normal in a tank your age and pretty normal even in older tanks.

I just clean the glass every couple of days
