Ok there is a piece of advise i can provide regarding algaes
There are some myths and fats regarding this issue.
So everything starts with the water change. As long as Nitrats are safe and your fish tank is balanced keep the water. Do not change it, do not ad anything. If however you have algae and you try to ad new water with low nutrients you are wrong.
Tap water comes from metal pipes which means a lot of IROn in it. Iron provides food for algaes and adding tap water you ad life to these algaes.
advise ; use distilated water. There is no iron or traces in this water. Then you can control the level of irions you want
Second take out the water from the tank and boiled, you kill as such any bacterias and algaes and you get rid of a lot of nutrients.
I hope this helps!
