Recently, I've had to start cleaning my glass every day. There's a light film of green algae that forms on the glass. Is this a good thing or bad?
 
Is it enough that it's obstructing your vision into the tank? How long has it been up and running? What are your parameters at?
 
It could be too many nutrients, how are you exporting them; ats, algae reactor, filter, etc?
 
Probably overfeeding. I used to have to clean my glass everyday or every other day. I really cut back on feeding. Now feeding every other day. And less food. Now I clean glass every 7-10 days. Fish are just as happy
And really scarf everything down when I feed.
