algae
ok so I took a water sample to my local pet store and they said I had some nitrates in my water which could be the cause of my algae outbreak. Since then I have done 4 water changes and I scraped the algae off. The Algae has started to come back, slow, but is coming back. I was just curious if there was any other way to figure out what is causing this. my light period was 8 hours I lowered it to 6. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

it is mostly glass algae, but looks like there is a little bit some plants. I think its green algae

That algae is from low phosphates or too much light. It grows on my aquarium glass also but i just scrape once a month so its not soo bad

So do you think if I added phosphates I would start to see a decrease?
