Problem with algae

[kien]

Scraping algae off your glass is a necessary evil. The frequency that it is required varies greatly. Average is probably 1 week. I myself have to scrape every two days at least. My tank sits in my living room where it gets a lot of ambient light on 3 sides of the tank. I've seen basement tanks extend the scraping requirement to 1 or two weeks.

If you don't want to scrape your glass you could hire someone to do it for you.
