**Help needed**

Hi guys, firstly thanks for anyone that takes there time to respond, much appreciated.

So i am 4 month into my new saltwater tank and my water is looking a little cloudy and i have this very thin layer of green algae all over my glass every 6+ hrs. My corals are also a little upset, can anyone shed some light on what might be wrong?. I can’t upload a picture because its not clear enough to see the layer of algae is that thin.

Could you put together a list of your current parameters for us to look at?

In addition to parameters, your filtration (mechanical and biological), tank size, maintenance routine you have been following, any things you have tried to fix the issue, stocking level.

Make sure that isn’t a haze of algae on the glass messing with us take out a cup of that water in a clear glass cup and look through it to window clean or opaque? What if your glass clarity is messing with us

I still dont know what caused it we tried all alternates before cheat burning with UV which has fixed ten thousand reefs.

Sight unseen, running some carbon to help clear the water and Vibrant for the algae on the glass would be my recommendations. Getting nitrate and phosphate in check are your long term goals.
