Tank Problems Acidity and algae problem
Hi everyone! I’ve been fish-keeping for about a year and a half but over the last year or so I’ve been having a bad acidity and algae problem… my aquarium is far too acidic and I can’t figure out why. I don’t understand why but the algae has been changing in colors (from green to brown and vice versa) and it just keeps growing. I want my fish to have the happiest life possible and I know that with these conditions it’s not possible. Can someone please help me understand what is going on and how to fix it?
P.S. the picture attached is what the tank looks like directly after cleaning. It’s a 20 gallon tall tank holding 6 Cory’s, 1 Long Red-Ginned tetra, 1 Guppy, 1 Pleco, 1 Octo, 2 Neon Tetras, 5 baby Tetras (I’m not completely sure which ones, I believe they’re a mix of long red finned and black skirt), and 1 African Dwarf Frog. Please let me know if you need any additional information!

Hey there! I misclicked a removal on your post. It would be helpful to attach the same image you did in the other subreddit's post here, that way people can see what's going on. Apologies for the misclick!!!
