Hello all I was wondering I want to clean my tank, it’s a 75 gallon tank. The gravel has algae growing, also my plants, driftwood too. What is the best way to attack. I do water changes regularly. Any suggestions thanks

Things to examine would include:
Over feeding
Frequency and amounts of WCs
Amount and duration of light
Tap water parameters being put into tank
How one is dosing fertilizers and/or CO2
General bio load of tank
Substrate that is soil/Fert based
Possible filtration options

Any of these could easily cause high algae growth. Check each one out and it should help point to one or more causes. Tell us more about your tank, parameters, load, lights, feeding, fish species, etc. Is your algae green or brown? How long has your tank been running? Any one (or several) of these could be problematic for algae issues.
