If its a bluish green, then its a bacterial thing. I had it, mine came from dead spots in the tank where there was no water flow and too much lighting. If you turn the light out for about 5 days it should go away. BUT yes it will come back. You have to find what is causing the issue. I rearranged my tank and fixed my lighting and it seems to have went away I no longer have any dead spots in the tank. That is all I know.
Hope this helps some.
 
Is this the same stuff that plagued your tank back in July 2015? I saw some relevant threads you started at that time and several options for treatment were provided.

I've had it twice over the last 3 years and both times I used API erythromycin to clear it up.
