Yeah, my tank's a algae farm too. Gonna try reducing the light like fin_tide said. Maybe throw in some Nerites for good measure.

Algae control is all about balance. If you're running CO2, make sure it's consistent. Inconsistent levels can trigger algae outbreaks. Also, check your phosphate levels.

It's great to see everyone sharing tips. Algae can be frustrating, but it's often a sign to tweak something small. Patience is key.

My shrimp tank's got a bit of green dust algae, but the shrimp seem to love it. Not gonna mess with it too much.

Re: What's your setup?
For algae, I've found that a combination of manual removal, balanced lighting, and a clean-up crew works best. Otocinclus are underrated for smaller tanks.
