So, I have had this 13.5-gallon saltwater tank kit for a few months now and its never stops having loads of algae in it. I do water changes every week from the water from my local Petco, but I also have my own ROM but it's too cold to use it since I connect it to my hose into my basement. I just did a water test, and it came to have
PH- 8.4
Nitrate-20
Nitrite-0
Ammonia-0
Salinity-1.027
I have a pair of clowns, two small bubble tip anemones, 4 small turbo snails, Blood shrimp, and two hermit crabs. I know the PH and nitrate are a little high but even when i do get those numbers lower after a good 5-gallon water change the algae comes back within a day or two. I am fairly new to saltwater but i really just want to make this tank look good and without green algae covering all the glass, any advice would be really helpful.
