nutrients is the cause or you algae, probably the souce of water you are using to mix the synthetic salt, fish load or overfeeding the fish do you use a protein skimmer? what is the color of the skimmate?uv or ozone is not going to fix your problens if you dont have a good filtration system, invest your money on a ro/di or a good proteine skimmer
