Constant algae problems

[hsiddall]

Im having trouble controlling algae in my 75G. I dont have water peramiters handy but will get them if needed. Did water change last tuesday and already have green algae on glass. I know im always going to have some but this has gotten out of hand. I have a wet dry with bioballs and water is approximately 75 degrees. I have a mix of peacocks and 6 syndontis. Possibly 20 fish total. Seems like alot but they have been together a long time and aggression is minimal. Males recently started showing lots of color. Any how what can I do to control this algae???

What type of lights are you running and for how long also your feeding could be an issue..

Don't UV sterilizers usually only help with algae in the water column?????

I agree that lighting could be an issue. I was able to completely solve my algae problem by reducing my light cycle from 10 hours to 8.

A UV sterilizer won't really help, it's money wasted IMO.

How long are your lights on?
