a couple of things:
I employ a very large 100 gallon refugium packed with chaeto and other macro algae. It helps to out-compete the nuisance algae for nutrients, effectively starving it out
I have several large turbo grazer snails (the size of golf balls) in the tank which help to keep algae growth down
I only have the main tank lights on for 5 hours/day
Elbow grease! I won't kid you......I have to scrub the corners and scratches in the acrylic when I do water changes every couple of weeks.
