[fshhub]

better descritpion, wher is it and what does it look like(other than green)
do you have any lr, with coraline algae
how old is hte tank, and what are your water parameters,
adn last what do you have in ther for algae control(fish and inverts)??

i have had the tank for about 1 1/2 years now and my salinity is about 1.o19. my nitrate lvl is good i have no cleanup crew(my eel ate them <img src="graemlins//dead.gif" border="0" alt="[dead]" /> )

and the algae is growing mostly on my fake corals and crushed coral

 

[fshhub]

some cleaners may help, if you had lr and some coraline, it might help, but i think a cleaner would be a good benefit, maybe a tang or blenny, depending on your eel(you would need somethign he can't eat)
