Algae! UNCLE!

I WAS adding fert. to the tank, but I've stopped all of that.. Obviously,
something is off... But I'm not sure how to tell exactly WHAT that is...
I'm going to start daily 95% water changes (and stop all fert.) and see how
it goes..

Overfeeding is NOT a problem... Plus I have two flying foxes, one algae
eater, and an otto...

Yeah, it's called fertilizer. The nutrients in your tank are off.

Without knowing the details of your tank, one possible start would be
to have as the only inhabitants of your tank some SAE and other algae
eating fish. Don't feed the tank at all, and let the algae eaters eat
the algae. And, try to get your nutrient levels under control.

IIRC flying fox is a fish slim eater, if the 'algea eater' is Chinese
they do not eat algea either.
