Ive had a fish tank for about 14 months. Ive always felt ive had a hard time keeping algea down. Is it the bottom line that basically they will always need regular cleaning of glass. its a 70 gallon mixed reef with 5 smlaller than finger length fish.

Are you running GFO? Using RODI water?

Yes, tanks will constantly require our care to remain aesthetically pleasing

If your speaking of film algae on the glass...then yes. I clean mine twice a week but have no nuisance algae
