Hi Everyone,

I have a 46 gallon bowfront. Everything is great in it except that i have green hair like algae covering the back of the tank and on the other glass parts. Obviously this is an eye sore. How do i get rid of it?

thanks,

Assuming your tank chemistry, flow and light is appropriate, a larger clean-up crew, hand-cleaning and so on.
