Help with Algae

[truestelf]

So i went away for part of the week and my timers on my t-5 lighting decided not to work, so my lights where on for over 2 days straight.I now have green algae everywhere in my tank. Any suggestions of how i can get this under control ?

 

30 gallon tank

6 bulb t5 fixture

79 degrees

Salinity is correct

i have a HOG fug with light

2 powerheads (good water movement)

a hob filter

I would do a water change 10-15% and then go lights-out for 36-48 hours. That should starve the algae enough.

A water change never really hurts but I would just clean the glass go on with the normal routine. It will clear itself up in due time, no need to stress. It just has to reach that balance again.

perhaps run the skimmer a little bit wetter especially the day after cleaning the glass
