Algae help!?

[Charlie.636]

My hermits seem to keep my rock clean but on the glass and my heater. Is it the blue lights ? Any tips to help this stuff not come around?

No idea what phosphate levels are? Don't have tests for that

Pick one up. High levels lead to algae growth.

and check your nitrates while you're at it. a;gae is natures way of saying somethigns out of wack, and i need to adapt in order to balance it out. fix the issues, this is hair algae so maintain your nuitrient levels and keep up on water changes, feed less frequent and keep your bioload at a healthy level, you can't just cram as many fish as you want in

might as well just start over, because you have to take the rock sand and live stock out, you'd also need to recycle cuz you'd kill all life in the tank
