large amounts of algea

[90reefkepr]

i have a lot of algea and i was wondering if anyone can suggest how to get rid of it. it grows mostly on the glass. there is brown algea, green algea, red algea and corraline algea (which i dont want to get rid of but want to get off the front and side glass.)

Could you give more specifics about your tank, like what water you use, how old is the tank, etc? It may be something you need to find a solution to, or it just may be that you need a magna-float if you dont have one yet. For removing the coraline off the glass (the magna float wont do well), an old credit card and some elbow grease is about the only way I found to work. HTH
