Still learning how to control the algae

Welcome! Glad you joined. Great colors in your tank - that will grow out gorgeous! Hobby does test our BBA - Bounce Back Ability. Algae and I are also fighting war... I finally broke down and put curtains on my south facing windows because sunlight is among fuel types algae loves. Options are out there & good luck to you!

This is a great reference book type article I still refer:
