Hey, I have this aquarium 30l cube, and I'm trying to find a balance to make it almost algae free, but I kinda struggle to make it.
Also some easy to clean algae appears on my glass, is not very much but it's noticable
I use CO2, adding 0.8ml of masterline all-in-one golden, and 1ml of easylife fosfo, because the ppm of PO4 is was kinda low in it , so I raised it so I can have above 0.2 ppm.
Any suggestions would be great
Also the light is the one in the photo s300 and the settings are attached in the photos.

Green spot algea on your plants is not enough phosphates relative to nitrates, along with too much light or not enough co2. If you’ve recently adjusted either then scrub it off and see if it comes back, repeat until balanced. And make sure you keep up with maintenance.
Brown stuff on glass pipes are common, it’s just muck that needs cleaning often. It’s why some people prefer stainless steel as it’s less visible.
Really hard to see with the red lighting though.
