I have some red and green algae growing in my tank. I have made water changes and have nassarius snails keeping it somewhat controlled, but it has still not gone away. Should I just kept taking out the algae by hand, keep changing the wateror is there another way?

Thanks
Brian

Phosban or other phosphate remover, increased water movement, new bulbs if they are more then a year old. Also make sure you are using RO/DI water that is nutrient free or the water changes may hurt not help.

Oh and make sure you are using low phosphate foods and not too much.
