Attack of the greeg algae need help!!

[Cdime712]

So I have a fairly new saltwater tank about a year and I start to notice that every time I clean the bottom of the tank when doing a water change I still keep getting green algae on the bottom and on the rocks. I'm stuck between two products that I have I need to make sure that one it would not kill everything in my fish tank and which one is better. I have everything you could think about that somebody would have in a saltwater tank I have an emerald crab I have to 2 clown fishes I have soft coral. Pistol shrimp and I do have Turbo snails. Below I will have two product with a picture just please let me know which one is better to use and what you had a better result with.

Also I don’t believe in chemicals at all ,, I’m a firm believer of,, let Mother Nature do her thing. If you were in the ocean diving on a reef you would notice that it had algae’s growing all over the place,, it’s part of nature and serves a purpose

Although vibrant works well on algae, try reducing white light intensity and add some nassarius snails .
Is your tank at or near a window?
Are you using RO water or tap from the faucet?

I'm using Poland spring water to tap off the tank. Light is on for no longer than 7hrs. I have naddarius two. The tank is cross from the window.

Just did a water change and clean up some of the algae. I have a scooter blenny in a 13.5 gal. The lawnmower would be to big for my tank

That indirect sunlight would be enough to trigger algae . Also better off with distilled water as spring will contain some minerals.

Is this an Evo 13.5, I have one, what is your flow like?
Can you do us a full tank shot please?

OMG you are being silly. That's not bad!

 

[Hincapiej4]

Just get a single fighting conch and see how that goes

 

[Cdime712]

I have a wave pump head on one side the glass. The the wave pump is set to change different type of waved every three hours. The flow is good from what I see.

I clean it up the night before. So I can see what you mean.

 

[Hincapiej4]

OH DUDE! A fighting conch would have a field day. What size tank is this? How old?

 

[Hincapiej4]

Think even a goby might eat that. Or def a fox, but I dunno if it would go for the sand or not. Def on the rocks.
