I have this green algae all over my tank it covers the sand rocks and walls and even my corals I scrub it off the walls and try to remove with my net but it just comes back in two days. How do I get rid of it and keep it from coming back.

I bought a UV filter and it helps alot. I kept it on for 3 straight days and it cleared up my water and helped stop the algae from populating. Now I will turn it on every few days to help keep it under control. I do not want to kill all the algae because then my cleaning crew will not have anything to eat.
