keep doing water changes. What size is the tank and how old is the tank??

Also helps to know what your readings are and what type of water your using??

If the tank is new, my guess is your algae bloom is coming, happens most all the time. If your using tap water, i would suggest stop using tap and get RO water so you can prevent some build up of nutrients.

Yes you are right it is algae and you have nothing to worry about, just try to keep it under control.
