Algae..........

[Rez90]

Ok,

So i have a Sh_t load of green algae growning on the bottom rocks and decorative rocks in my tank.....I have been doing water changes 1-2 times a month and the stuff just keeps growing back..............

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of this?

Is it seeing direct sunlight by chance-

Uv Steralizers help tremendously on getting algea grwoth back-

Do a bigger water change and more often.

I like my green alga to an extent but toooooo much is to much .
I let my tank go I do not clean the back glass or the wood .
I let it hang and be natural make it look nice and use to your advantage .
"O" NATURAL

Do more water changes, it'll help by lowering the amount of nitrates in the water. A UV sterilizer would take care of things for ya but they can be pricey.
