yea i have the green algae and a little bit of red algae that I've been able to keep to a minimum over the last few years. Neither grows really bad, I think the green just grows because my tank is exposed to a lot of sunlight. A few years ago I had a huge problem with the red slime but the filter I bought with the UV light in it has kept that problem to a minimum.
I did not know nitrates and nitrite causes algae to grow.
