Hi I’m semi new to saltwater tanks and was wondering if anyone knew how to stop the growth of this green algae taking over the glass. I purchased a green killing machine and also a magnetic scrubber and some snails but it’s not helping much. Thanks!

Raise the water flow a little and lower white light intensity a little and add the following snails:

3 turbo
3 astrea
3 trochus
3 nassarius
3 nerite
4-6 blue leg hermits.

The will help maintain control
