Help with algea on glass

[Islandboy10]

I’ve been having to constantly clean my glass everyday second day. It just seems that it gets brown/ green algea so fast. at first I thought it was the sunlight I would get at times in the summer times but now that it’s starting to become winter and not as much sun , im still having the same issue. I am runining uv 15w at about 300gph my phosphate is at 0.09-0.16 at most my nitrates seem to be hiting 0 at times -5.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated thank you

Clean and polish your tank. Take picture. Go and make some nice poster from that picture, size of tank.

Attach poster to front glass, and enjoy nice clean glass, colorfull coras, etc...

No worries, repeat after few months with current state poster.

Or, clean it, really, nothing that can be done, over time, glass will stay cleaner longer, some snails help, but, depending on glass size, you may require tons of snails

Probably your lights are positioned in such a way that much light hit it, and green film is something that u cannot avoid, just clean it. How often, depends of how clean u want it to be....

I have to scrape mine about every other day too, and my tank is coming up on 10 years.

@Islandboy10
Give us some information on your tank set up and your experience level. Did you start with dry rock, do you have substrate, what livestock, how long set up?

Lights just came on 75G display set up 25 yrs. In this mature system, biofilm covers everything. I wipe soft film off glass every other day.
