I can clean my glass and within 30 minutes it will have a brown/green film of algae on it. I have zero algae growth other than the glass. I have been dosing nitrates for the last month and finally have them at 2ppm but I had the "instant dusting" problem before I started dosing. The only change in the glass algae is it is more green than brown after dosing nitrates. The tank is 4 months old and I had hoped it would go away on its own but it doesn't seem to be. I am using 0 tds water and have a Hanna ULR phosphate tester but find the results to be random and inconsistent.
Rather than clean the glass every 30 minutes I have considered installing an automotive style windshield wiper set to run every 15 minutes but hoping you guys have a better solution!
