hey I’ve had some green algae growing in my tank for a few weeks now. Every time I clean it it shows back up within a few days. Any idea?

I've experienced the same, and I have the same filter... So it may be that the filter isn't strong enough, otherwise I just clean it whenever I see it, it's a hassle but my fish are happy and that's all I care

How long are your lights on for each day, and what percentage of water changes are you doing each week?

Lights are on about 10 hours and then the blu leds come on for a few hours before it shuts off..also doing 25% WC weekly

Set lights to 6 or 8 hours, no blues, and bump your water change up to 50% weekly.
