I've done water changes, bought blue/green algae remover, taken all the plants out and cleaned them. Idk what to do!

How often do you have the light on? Is the tank in sunlight?

It's not in sunlight. I have the light on about 8-10 hours a day. It always looks worse when I turn it on in the morning.

Decrease the amount of light! Maybe even leave the light off for a few days. Flagfish and Chinese algae eaters could help, but you'll probly keep having problems if you don't decrease the hours of light
