Green algae

[goldenreef]

Hello my tank is about 3 weeks old now and i just wanted to know because i have this green algae that keeps popping up on my rocks and glass i try to clean it but it comes back withing hours anyone know why this is happening? Is this normal for a new tank to go through? And should i just let it be and clean it every week with my water change?

Your tank is young most likely the ugly phase I would just ride it out much more to come!

Normal, clean it off, keep nutrients balanced and in range through water changes.

You shouldn’t have to clean this. A clean up crew will. Obtain a mixture of snails:
Turbo
Astrea
Nassarius
Trochus
Cerith
Nerite
