I use a product called algone.

Been happy with it. Our water has high phosphates causing brown and
green algae and this product really helps control it.

What does it do if you have plants also? Does it kill them?

FROM THE BOX: "Product is safe for fish, plants, algae eaters, snails,
live rock, coral, invertebrates, polyps, etc. Algone enhances the
environment of oxidizing (nitrifying) bacteria and promotes a higher
dissolved oxygen content in your tank.?

Just put the pad in the tank somewhere (I put it in my filter).
