    first off, tell us what type of tank you have (i.e. Corals, FOWLR?).
    What are the Nitrates,Nitrates, Ammonia, SG and PH reading?
    What does the algae look like?

    To add, are you running carbon, gfo, and/or biopellets?

    How long has the tank been running and do you have it in front of a window?

    Phosphate levels are high and lighting may be old. Run phosphate remover. ie. GFO
