So I’m a college going student, I left my aquariums in my parents care for a few weeks. I come home and it is completely overgrown with algae, the substrate is covered in it, there’s tons of bubble algae on my rocks, I’ve addressed the major shift in parameters but I don’t know how to deal with this overgrowth. My emerald crabs aren’t eating the bubble algae and it’s just completely taken over. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this matter?

Manual removal, daily, cut lights to 6 hours with blue and uv only no whites. Get a diverse cleaner crew and thank your parents for they have done for you over the years.
