Hi!

There is a large amount of green algae in my aquarium.
What could be the reason?


Tank specifications - 60x40x40 - 96litre
Lighting - T5 96W - 7 hours(From 15:00 to 21:00)
CO2 - Pressurised from(From 13:00 to 21:00)
Filtration - Eheim 2075 with Seachem Matrix
Fertilisation routine - Tropica Specialized 2ml day + Tropica Premium 2ml /day

Video:

Thank you
 
Is this a new setup?
In the video I see very little flow. Is this normal flow for the tank?
 
Flow doesn't seem bad but it could be better, maybe you packed that matrix a bit too much?

Also I'd do more frequent and bigger water changes, along with manual removal of algae. I usually do 50% three times a week when I get a rough start to a setup and then switch to 50% once a week when everything is normal.

Hard to tell, with a moving camera.
Seems good at the surface, but I can't really see it at substrate level.
