Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi! I’m new to this forum, but I’ve had 2 45 gallon aquariums for about 12 years now. Besides the occasional algae spread here and there, I haven’t had any problems keeping up with my tanks. I recently moved and ever since setting my tank back up 3 months ago, I’ve been in a losing battle with this purple/blackish algae. Partial Water changes, full decor cleanings and algae treatments aren’t helping at all. I was thinking maybe adding fresh water was only helping it grow, so I’ve tried to just clean the glass and decor and let the water be for the last month but still no luck. It always comes back fast. Any tips on how to get it out and keep it out? Attaching a photo: sorry for the cloudy water, just cleaned up the algae on the glass and stirred up the substrate a little bit while cleaning the decor. This pic is also right under the filter so lots of bubbles since the waters a tad low right now. For context: that castle is light grey and blue normally
