What do you use in your aggressive tank when you have a mass algae outbreak and cant control it with a type of fish? i clean the tank all the time and within a few days boom its green again as if it hasnt been touched. this is even striping it down and scrubbing it as well.

Nitrate levels and/or phosphate levels that are too high along with too much light is the main cause of algae. What is your nitrate reading before a water change and after? You do do regular water changes right? You do have a test kit right? What size tank is it and what kind of filtration does it have? Stocking level?
