Well first you have to make sure that you do regular water changes. that will help prevent any new algae. and there is a chemical called algae control and i use it for my fish tank and it helps to also prevent and help get rid of algae. hope it helped.

Ya I have been I just changed a gallon my father is an expert on fish but a pain in the ass to get a straight answer from about things like this but he told me to let 2 gallons of water sit for 2 days and change 2 gallons every 2 days for the 1st 6 weeks and he gave me what he called live rock from his tank and set up for me to help the tank cycle faster

to let 2 gallons of water sit for 2 days and change 2 gallons every 2 days for the 1st 6 weeks
that is a good routine to do it should work good luck
