I've been battling this algae since I bought this tank about 6 months ago. It's on the rock and the sand, the algae on the sand looks especially ugly. I've also got to scrape the glass on the tank every few days. I do weekly water changes after getting as much of the algae agitated so I can suck it up. I've just reduced my lighting percentage by 10% overall so maybe this will help, I've attached the new lighting schedule below. The tank is a red sea max nano. Could it be to do with a problem with filtration, phosphate and nitrate seem normal although as far as I understand phos gets used by the algae so it could be higher than what it tested at.
I currently feed the fish once a day, I alternate half a cube of frozen food one day and then a few flakes the next day typically.
I'm really hoping that the photos don't show signs of dinos because I've already got aiptasia I've been trying to get rid of for ages, would be another headache lol.
Phos: 0.01
Nitrate: 10
Thanks!
