Algae

Algae is not dirt — it is a sign something is out of balance: usually light hours, feeding, or nutrients the test kit will name.

What actually helps

Test nitrate and phosphate before buying anything — treatment without knowing which number is high is guessing.
Cut light to 6–8 hours a day and move the tank out of direct sun before reaching for chemicals.
Fast-growing plants out-compete algae for nutrients better than any remover; a stalled planted tank and an algae farm are often the same problem.
Scrub glass manually while the balance shifts back — removal tools cost once and never overdose.
