Hi guys.
What’s the best way to get rid of algae? Is there a better way than just plain scrubbing?

If that is black beard algae, (Cyanobacteria) it is tough. Amount of light don't seem to phase it.
I some is a very low light tank, and was able to reduce it using Rid-X. The Rid -X provides a population of bacteria that compete for nutrients starving it out.
There is a sticky about its use "probiotics"

at first it was thick, above.
Same log, a few weeks after the use of Rid-X
