Q: Wall Tank Algae

I know this is basic husbandry stuff but no where I can find an article on how to properly clean wall tank algae :lol:





I could see Green Dusty Algae & some red spotting algae :idea:



Besides employing CUC, what will be the best alternative way in cleaning this wall algae? Is Magnet cleaner the only other best way to do this?



Have a turbo snail which I don't think sufficient because it only munch those on the rocks :D i think it has enough food on those rocks hence it never ever ever ever crawl up to the wall tank ... NEVER.



Ok ... that was the first question .. how about do I clean wall algae besides using CUC?



The second question is how to prevent this or if preventing is not a possibility, how about do I reduce this wall algae?



Some info on my tank:

- 20L pico tank with LR, LS & 1 Turbo Snail

- Cycled (8 ppm ammonia in the first week, reduced down on the 3rd week with evidence of Nitrite & Nitrate) ... Ammonia & Nitrite is now gone with Nitrate of 2 ppm.

- quite new tank approx 1.5 months old

- filled up with RODI water and 30% RODI weekly WC

- Trickle filter with 3 chambers of ceramic rings & 1 chamber of bio balls

- 1 powerhead
