Have been running the tank for over 2 years and have developed a persistant BGA problem.
I have tried blacking out the tank twice in 4 weeks. Removing as much before hand as possible. 50% water change. 4 days blackout then another 50% water change but it still starts to return after 3 or 4 days. Filters are well maintained.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Pulling my hair out trying to get rid of it.

Filtration- Juwel internal no carbon and Rena Filstar XP3
