Hey, ive had these two tanks for approx a yr now and for the last 4 months or so i ahve been gettin this really green algea that sticks to everything. It first started with the brown algea.. that went away as i cleaned ever few weeks or so. Now its just straight up green algea commin back. My water quality seems ok (low nitrates, nitrites and ammonium). Is this normal for fresh water tanks, or are there things that i could do to lessen the algal outbreaks?
 
Well, we need some more info...

Size tanks?

Bio-load?

Filtration?

Light? (artificial / natural, amount/time)
