remove as much as possible, and dont leave the light on for so long. if that doesnt work, try feeding less, because the extra un eaten food gets broken down into other stuff, and could affect your phosphate levels. phosphate is a form of food for algae.

ty i pulled pretty much all of it out today and did a pwc, also set my timer for 7 hrs instead of 9 on lights, hopefully it wont come back
